What is achieved in a life?
All those moments we live, feel.
Blood pumped,
air inhaled, expelled.
Voices, words that reverberate,
haunt, compel as passion
that won’t let go.
Grasp, if you can, those
floating threads each holding
chapters, stanzas, soul songs
that carried you through
excruciating days, months, years.
See, brilliant achievement,
creation, demons and gods
as needed, a whole world
intricately, intimately
perceived
Exquisite beauty –the essence of artistic
inspiration.
