To Be the Poet That You Are

A finger touched a finger tip
And God of gods created me
Bestowing life into my hand
And soul into my entity

On fragile curtains of the stars
Brushed on the Sistine’s high facade
Immortal dyes imbued a birth
Immerging from the womb of God

A time warped portrait of the Lord
Lives in its own infinity
And recreates life’s own creation
Brushed in hues of poetry

Artistic phrases deeply stained
Adjacent the most distant star
Oh, I would live with brush in hand
To be the poet that you are

The brush in your hand, dear poetess, paints divine word pictures that must surely please your Creator.

God's Loving Light,
Linda

Lady Santos...

You are spilling ink
and it is settling well...

We've been without your touch
for some time;
whatever is pulling it from you,
let it reign.

Know that I appreciate, admire
and reflect
upon your ability to turn a quill...

know
that I always will.

There are moments I feel so in awe of what you have created, that it is difficult to add comment. This would be one such moment.
