Wings Of Light
Why then poetry …
why not prose
the answer prescient
to those who know
On wings of light
it comes unsought
abrupting time
on breezes caught
Why then poetry …
the world in verse
within whose lines
the Bards converse
The oldest questions
age sublime
within its torrent
—within its rhyme
