Birth of a Poetry Resplendent, shaped through storm, and light bent rays of bright against a dark horizon, the sky, a solid force of comfort meant to remind how vast our thoughts, clipped, hemmed in only by imagination's traps. If you close your eyes, like a midnight sky the darkness opens, space and time collapse, allowing thoughts to split, diversify; but like restless lovers they risk return, yearning to embrace the other, this blend of color, thought and motion: a sojourn for open minds, where word and phrase transcend the possibilities of sound and theme, beyond the well-worn realms of real and dream.
