Nette Onclaud Poet Dramatic Verse

Notes About The Poem

 

              

What Cannot Kill Me

Exploring unknown tracks beneath
Old moonless sky, in the ink of heart
Night becomes angst’s poison
Dark and strong:
Papyrus lies bare as thoughts fumble
Raking my verses...until hours change to dawn.

Lakes, egrets, and wildflowers croon 
That in the hush of silence and music, I find
A divine universe so nourished  within--
This roam a gleam    knowing any obstacle
Cannot drown, kill the splendor 
Of my art's passion to transcend fear.

Daniel Turner February 28, 2017 at 8:47 AM Hard to see anything in this poem that would kill me, unless one could be killed from beauty:) Good luck, nette!
