And these words are nothing more then symbols. Greater still yet lies beyond. The source that feeds life to life...beauty to beauty and love to all - Is funneled and channeled for truth to be told. And what are we if not but runes? Sacred symbols of the Divine. Expressed quite grandly...though greater still is our true source - Our beings simply pin points. The Infinite trickled down as human form. So what is life and what is death? Perhaps but only nature recreating what has lived and breathed once - And now lives and breathes once more. Aahhh... And is such grand design simply chance? Or is it life creating Life as an artist? Wiping clean each canvassed sheet... Painting birth, death, renewal. For an artist listens only to the voice of forever. Painting such love...such grace...such beauty through the brush strokes of her soul. And all points of eternity...what was once and now is. And everything for ever more... Is all contained within a moment. The artist knows that life is but a brief imagining of what is now. And the possibility of what could be. I have struggled with such vast expanse. A simple poet battling in vain. How to express a force so large? So full of beauty. With only symbols forming words? And as it is with every struggle - A fight - a pause - a letting go. The answers comes quite clearly. Love. This one word...will say it all. |

great timing for this poem There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

This is exquisite, Merlin! "For an artist listens only to the voice of forever." Only an artist of your caliber could ever be so astute as to be able to capture "forever" though...especially in such elegant and magical style. Love is such a simple term and maybe that's why it holds such power. Thank you for offering us your love with every mystical word you share...it is an honor and privilege to share this world with you. Love and Light...jc This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light. |

The source that feeds life to life...beauty to beauty and love to all - Is funneled and channeled for truth to be told. And what are we if not but runes? Sacred symbols of the Divine. Expressed quite grandly...though greater still is our true source - Our beings simply pin points. The Infinite trickled down as human form. Ahhh, the song of your soul, dear Eric! This is not just an excellent poem holding beauty and love. This is a spiritual event. A text that can represent a guide for all those who are on a spiritual path of awakening. To be able to share wisdom in such captivating poetic form is an artistic deed of highest, priceless value. Thank you for being an inexhaustible source of beauty. I join in your soul’s song ... with love. Sacred symbols of the Divine, you and I. Indeed. All of us. I love you. Margherita |
