Nature III / Dreams




Nature III

The throne of nature dominates our intelligence with her vast

projections of marvelous meteor showers and colossal cascades of

radiant water falls sometimes surrounded by monumental

mountains. Fantastic foliage in the woods, wilds, lakes, streams

and oceans is an awesome array of ancient lore and present day

dominating decor.

My latest poem inspired by the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe's poem titled "Stanzas" set my mind in action with his poetic words;

Admiring Nature's universal throne; Her woods-her wild-her mountains-the intense reply of HERS to our intelligence!

From the time I was a very young boy to present day, I wish I could draw and play music, especially play music, but those two talents San my soul. Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist for Rush inspired my desire to write. Peart said words are a lot like music, hence the writing. Words, like music cannot be thrown together in any order. Actually they can, i.e.; run, for, but, too, who, grace, fire and what. Not only is that last sentence grammatically incorrect, but it is also pointless and senseless.

Music is the same way, certain notes in certain orders make or break songs. The magic of poetry is putting words into a combination that excites the imagination, or at least tries to and that's what I was striving for in these two poems.
         

Dreams


An efficacious zephyr hovers my thoughts into the
spheres of inner space.
Madness is music, dreams, and whispered beauty.
Unfiltered emotions riding in wisdom's wave.
Separate thoughts fused forever into time. Infinite
imagination spawns creative desires. Passion to
immortalize, desire to live. To embed ones soul into
the heart of time itself.
