Clearing the weighty clouds
From the pristine ebony ice

While beneath me the richness of the earth nourished
Spreading tendrils thr......

...What is a Poet?

A singer of songs, a caller of warnings;
A crier of tears, a laugher, a weeper.

You lay like solemn ashes
'Neath glass ... spotless, sacred

...(not to take too seriously; I think I am immune

for the sin that I am yet to offend;

yeah ...

there was someone ...
a long time ago,
lifetimes, really ... eons,

 Toward serene and luminous field adds more flowers in gold
 But its on golden moonbeams I take my flight
 For the caress of your fragrant petals of wh......
