Spiritual Rings

I think of poetry
sometimes as sacred, 

at an altar

summoned by words
of God -- 

every expression a driven
reverberation,

myself a mere fork tuning
struck by hammers unfathomable

truth~ feeling more transcriber

such spiritual rings transcending Bard's --

Humble way to look at poetry Joe, though I tend to believe that poetry is very much human rather than divine. Some good exceptions in the Bible though.

Hi Tom; I'm certain it is that also. Poetry is what the poet says. Absolutely!

Love that last line. Transcendence of this life that dares to dream of Eden redeemed.

Thank you, Kim; maybe if we dream it enough...to the point where Eden pops out of every vibration that is our being...maybe we will have Eden again. There are worse delusions. I choose this to be one of my many. Thank you, my friend. Blessings.
