Dwight takes one of my poems and, using it as inspiration, flies into the sun with it.
Life is a Poem
Everything in life is a poem waiting to be written.
Most do not hear the poets call or feel the inspiration
But for those who look and listen there is music ;
poems to be written // deep emotions to be felt
that can only be expressed in words.
Those who pause // make life stand still
and open their soul …
They understand it loud and clear.
as words resonate // echoing through the mind
Poets are like pleasant speed bumps
that slow you down and make you listen;
Sometimes giving you a big jolt
When you least expect it.
Poets are fearless prophets // writing of love and hate
Politics and Religion // joy and strength;
Raising consciousness //challenging norms;
Searching for words that express Truth
Bringing Light to the world.

That poem just as good now as it was in 2017! “a sestina jumped, / landing with a splash in mid-pond.” — that never gets old.
