Success

in pursuit of the Magnum Opus

as I am a child of the Universe,

I choose

to converse with angels.

 

Someday

I will learn

the powers that define

true grace.

 

I will be

my own Greatest Work

when I surrender.

[Salvatore Buttaci]

I was moved by your poem and few I've read do that to me. I got choked up: one of the proofs for me that a poem holds a universe of emotion is that it can race my heart, blur my eyes, give a tremble to my lip. And this poem did that for me. And you end it with the word "surrender," which is the door through which you finally enter to learn all the answers that once clouded your mind.

The ultimate conundrum. To know what we are we must deny what we think ourselves to be.

Precise, thoughtful writing.

[Lilith des Cavernes]

Fabulous!!!! Really profound and beautifully stated. Many cheers.

Absolutely the best reason to get up everyday...!
spoken like a women walking in her purpose...

'I will be
my own Greatest Work
when I surrender."

How do I miss so many of your greatest jewels...

"as I am a child of the Universe,
I choose
to converse with angels."

reading your poems is like being awakened by the warm breath of a lover's kisses.

This is a concise and powerful piece. The last part "my own work of art" really nailed the landing. My compliments to the author.

[Jim W White]

There it is. I had a profound talk with someone close to me lately.. in far less graciousness wordage I described desire to 'converse with angels' and build up to 'my own Greatest Work'. You done read me mind and I buzz on the wavelength. I bet you're a zenful individual. Namaste, I should say.
