Poetry is an arc between
reality and the imagination
it is the language of the soul
speaking in unknown tongues
Poetry is found in the night
opening my mind to possibilities
soaring from realm to realm
in the silence I listen and hear
whispers of the ancient trees
Poetry is my greatest story
dreaming it, writing it, singing it
Poetry is a falling star carrying
wishes across the infinite sky
leaving a trail of cosmic dust
in a wild messy world of love
Poetry is a song from my heart
discovering the rhymes of life
an internal beat weaving magic
deciphering and coining new words
a sonnet sung under blue moonlight
Poetry is my greatest story
dreaming it, writing it, singing it
written for dVerse MTB Ars Poetica

Thanks for reading!
Beautifully written! In particular I love this stanza, "Poetry is a falling star carrying
ReplyDeletewishes across the infinite sky" Superb! 🩵
Love the center line... the greatest story indeed.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Truedessa! I especially love the link between poetry as ‘an arc between reality and the imagination’ and as ‘a falling star carrying wishes across the infinite sky’, and the repeated mantra.
ReplyDeleteLove the refrain like a song Truedessa. It is indeed the language of the soul.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are the master of it!
ReplyDeleteI love this, especially "poetry is my greatest story."
ReplyDeletePoetry is all those things! Well-etched, Truedessa.
ReplyDeletePoetry and writing is a definite ray of light - I love how beautifully describe it - Jae

These lines and your poem in its entirety, plus what you and Grace have said, make me re-evaluate the existence of my own muse, and perhaps it is just that I can't see and hear it from within, as a separate voice - perhaps it is my poetic voice, so thank you for this beautifully written and thoughtful poem, truedessa...

Poetry is the ultimate, how very true True! Love your write! It encompassed and overwhelmed and covered what the poetry that we understood it to be. How has it been Ma'am,? Great to see you! Hank took leave of absence and am coming back again also.

I love how this moves from a quiet inner voice to stars and sky – poetry really is the greatest story here. Nicely done Trudessa 👏
