THE GIFT

I'm blessed - fortunate as night and day

In the evening hours - I see twilight

Stars twinkling with the iridescent moon

It shines - it glows - beauty in pitch dark

As I gaze at the galaxy , I see birth

The pregnant star - nurtures the sky

Dancing in the sky - I see the muse

The maidens and the planets, remarkable!

Our Greek Gods - mesmerizing our hearts with glee

Then hypnotically - I see a prediction

In the crystal visions of my mysterious mind

Inspired by the heavenly skies, I see me

Blessed by the Greek, I write poetry

The words glide with the pen they flow

And each word in my mind as I concentrate

I put with a point - I then inspire

In the night - the words then retire

And dawn it breaks - I see day light

The glorious new born day , I see my way

A new beginning - a brand new day

And Apollo I love - I embrace thee

In my mind in the skies above

Love enters my soul and I glow

And you ! Beauteous - I get to know

The sun comes up - the rays warm on my face

Hues prominent - I am bewildered

Still fortunate - my feelings , I trace

I am a poet - I write with the morn

Each day - each night. I am inspired

My mind wanders and still contemplate

Each word I write with the skies, this I seek

Beauteous be - the night and day it doth stimulate

And if writers block? I seek the stars

And when the clouds darken with the element

I see the rain on my face a miracle too of blues

Trickling down - dancing on my gardens

Nurturing the roots - my seeds, my beauty

I am the poet! I write the words- visions

Visually in my mind - I speak - I see

I am blessed - I see the heavenly skies

They keep me wondering and I am mesmerized

And when dawn breaks - I hope too

Not to take each day for granted - look I view.
