To Compose the 'Poem of All Poems'

Gaze up fondly at the sky Breathe deep... Sigh... Ask why Plumb the depths of your heart Feel it shatter into myriad pieces... Cry Ponder the secrets of the Universe Let wonder fill your soul... Immerse Softly stroke the letters of your keyboard Pierce the darkness, gentle fingers... flaming swords

"Breathe deep... Sigh" Yes, I am. This is beautiful in so many amazing ways. I think I will "Ponder the secrets of the Universe" While you create more poems. :) Brandy

Sounds like a plan there, Brandy. Is it ok if I ponder a little too?! lol. Thank you so much for such a sweet comment. Happy rest of Sunday, Gershon

Hello Gershon … we all seek the height of heights, not for money value but satisfaction - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

So true. We write to satisfy ourselves -- sometimes the toughest critics to please. Peace, Gershon

The poem we all seek to write Gershon, who knows maybe one day we'll hit gold. Tom

Lovely couplet, my friend. Had forgotten how lovely a couplet can be. May try my hand at one now that you are inspired me.
