To Live and Breathe

To Live and Breathe ———- ———————————- For time, again, I dive into the Arts: Colors my joy, Lines my breath, Words to tour feelings, and these Pens and pastels are My instruments to Draw upon the music Of my solace… Or, my thrill Of translating The scenes I see. Where The Peace of God May be All… Surrounding… Creating… Stroke by stroke I could know Heart arias, Symphonic pirouettes, Poetic murals, and Embroidered souls With gold leaf Embellishment. In perfect pitch The choir commences, Sounding What cannot be simply Spoken - only sung— Birds, humanity’s First music Teachers, fly upon The tuning winds! ———————————————— (c) sally young Eslinger 9/21 Glory to God!

Darlene, thank you for stopping by & for your kind, sympathetic thoughts. Since 2010, all but my carnival vertebrae are titanium, both shoulders lack ligament, so pain can get intense sometimes, & 15 mos ago I became Suddenly paralyzed waist down, so my bed is my place but I draw & poems come & Jesus is always holding my hand…I listen to books and music 24/7, which all keeps me busy. Then too, my dear husband & pups. Must say, tho, my dear friends, like you Darlene, here on psoup with whom to share the life of poetry, make my life well going on xoxo sally

Great, Sally. I love all that's classic. Let it be a sort of Va pensiero. To God glory be forever.

Victor, such a dear friend you are! I have hoped since youth to strive for elegance in my use of language in poems. I also love the classic & we agree we both love passion in poetry. Your pen has these…just this morn I listened to some Verdi I loved, new to me. I looked up va pensiero. Beautiful. Oh, that I might ever pen such beauty! XoXO
