Rhythms of Literary Art

Music is the mirror of the spirit,
Poetry the echo of the soul,
Combined they reflect melodies of life,
Providing fulfilment and contentment.

When poetry transforms phrases into harmonies,
Expressions of grandeur rise from the page,
Like plants thrusting through spring soil,
With implied understanding that God is pleased.

this is so charming, James. I really like it. It says so much about poetry and what I personally feel about the magic of words! Have I cast you as a fave poet? You said something about that but I don't recall. I will check it out.

Thanks Andrea. You remind me of myself in that we are so busy it's hard to keep it all together. I just finished getting my latest book published, "I Go to Prepare a place." Amazon has it in paper back and Kindle. First part has my best description of Heaven then springboards into a space odyssey with two key characters. James E. Tate
