Graceful

To a poet on here

Graceful cascades
From his mind to page.
I must wonder does this
define the ageless aspect
of poetic expression?

Notions equated and multiplied,
layered with truth and wanderings.
A coffee house or bookstore,
I wonder if his after thoughts
are recollections of observations.

Graceful sings and flies
the heart content and swiftly
adept to a soft wind or remembrance.
It is translations of wondrous feelings
which lead to this poetic symphony.

A conductor, a producer, the amazing
graceful way words connect from
some place I'd sit and rest to feel alive.

There is a requiem being written
a collection to be of time;
That is, the endless notion
after we are gone, maybe,
just maybe, poets leave a creative
emblem, a representation of who
they were.

Graceful cascades,

Like whimsical wishes,
Like after thoughts which
linger,
on the breath of meaning.

i truly believe that poets are born and not made..there is something there that we see in different ways to to others..the slightest thing we perceive and cannot let go unnoticed..we look up when others only look up when others look forward, and yes there is a need to write life's images down for posterity...

I enjoyed the feeling of this--kind of like a "hustle and flow" dance with words--like the imagery of cascades also....

Love sweet poetry about poetry, it's my favorite, you've tickled me with your musings on this page. Love 'endless notion after we are gone'...hopefully they survive long after we do, nice one Shaun!

Thanks Frieda..hopefully poetry serves for generations. It is insighful and emotional.:)
