Touching down
Calamus touching down
whispering fragrance
embody my parlour air
covers of calf skin
blanket in north wind
as blood of the gall
seers deep into my vein
How more can sunshine
set high in cleared sky
what drips not trace of rain
but edged in mist
as a tide rolls in
fount of youth flows high
what sets in blue
Then what should be first
always ascends heaven
The epicenter milkyway
in coin tossed wish
that rippled destiny
as a boy knelt in prayer
rose upon long stemmed rose
Call the broadsword for I am done
pierced upon arrows Eros has flung
what is kept among shadow
tickles my tongue purses my lips
urges me on to that which in life
called me at once purposed and right
I gladly lay down my god blessed life

Eros arrows can take one down, and yet what sweet 'defeat'. Good read, Soul. The accompanying image fuels the imagination.

...sigh at the beauty flowing through this piece,
...in awe at the majestic tone that's carried,
...mesmerized by the way the words spoke to me.
Gorgeous art, written flawlessly! :)

If I was visiting Ancient Rome and Greece, I feel like several of your lovely compositions, including this one would be perfect compliments to a tour of the great artwork.

Well if the truth be known, I was conceived while my parents were in Europe. Mom and dad would go on and on about the art...

I always said a place where mom and dad didn't have to worry about my brother! (he was visiting relatives in NJ)

poor Guy-- the opposite of art and culture is Jersey I think lol (though i'm sure Your relatives make up for it:)

Can't really say. We had different fathers. Except for on cousin who came out for my brother's wedding, I don't know any of the Jersey relatives.
