The Sublimity Of Poetry

 

But now I see
it is the closest human language can come
to the language of nature and emotion.

Like an abstract painting
you project your own subjective experience.

Good poetry causes a resonant familiarity
and subtle knowing
interwoven with the blood of emotion.

Despite the seeming chaos of abstract painting,
ecstatic dance and abstruse poetry;
there is still an art to creating aesthetic composition.

Poetry – I Walk In the Night Amongst Crisp Air And Grape Vines

 

I walk in the night amongst crisp air and grape vines.

Looking down upon the ground

the frosty earth glimmers and reflects the moon

as if standing on a fractal of the cosmos.

The still air and clear sky enable introspection and contemplation.

My moccasin footsteps entrain meditation and solace.

The future is the question and nature is the answer.
