You never cease to amaze! Never ever cease to amaze! I don't just read your poems, I savor them. I don't just sit in a chair reading them, I go on journeys with them! Like this one, I went to a symphony and I was there, sitting in the audience, experiencing every discomfort of a too hard seat but also every thrill of a musical note leading into another. You are a journey in and of yourself. A journey every writer on this site should accompany. Of course this is a 10 and of course it goes on my list of favorite poems to go with your other brilliant poems I have listed there. Master Poet, you excel.
I; m so happy to read your reaction, Susan, because I know reached a sensitive reader which means the poem works! ! I did not know if it would. I didn't want to invent a program that is just fluff but rather parallel poetic and musical moments. It's hard to express this in words. Your regard is so so so great! ! !
I like this part the most: we are pilgrims who have reached a shrine in the wilderness, we breathe a sacred air into our tired bodies, and then, too soon, we resume our pace toward yet another Threshold. -beautiful poem.10.
Thank you for reading and commenting, Marieta. I appreciate your involvement with my poem. I know you to be a remarkable poet, gifted and sensitive seem to be pale words but they are only the first stage of my regard for you as a poet. You have a truly POETIC mind which recognizes the beauty of the world and enhances it with your loving regard.
