Virginia Waters Poet Rhyme

To Sir With Gratitude

fair glinting gold

                   light shining bold

                        this I saw

                     for my 'flaw' is to be

                     not of your world

              Into the breech I was hurled

                   before your times were told

              ere I was an aeon old

              I changed Universes - yet

                 here, I was in darkness jet.

                    when again I rose

                    in biped pose

              to complete the task
 
                began, before your form thought to ask

                       Whence came we here?

              Your light came just in time

                 shimmered thru deepest despair

             A human mind gave to me

              a beckoning seed of desire to see

                  another day, in limited heartlost society

                Whence before  was only my desire to flee.

Geoffrey Brewer September 13, 2018 at 9:20 AM Anintriguing poem with an implied message yet enough mystery to taltalise. The first part invites a variety of enterpretations, as do many effective and effecting works of art, while the final message is one of grace and gratitude. Virginia Waters September 15, 2018 at 2:42 AM thank you for a thoughtful and gracious comment.

Gershon Wolf September 3, 2018 at 5:32 PM Such a fascinating poem: Evolutionary and revolutionary! There should be a contest for something like this. A real winner, in my book. Smiles, Gershon Virginia Waters September 15, 2018 at 2:41 AM Thanks Gershon - I finally tracked my teacher "angel" to Germany many years later and sent him this thank you.
