Reverie


Reverie
So hankers this heart
So sounds this soul
Quiet be
These prods of passion
This moment
The music
Held
Within the violin
The lament
The longing,
Resounding
Resonant
Yet silent.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

The lament, the longing . . . . I can relate.

Thank you again for the lovely, lyrical words you left on my blog Rose Marie.

Hi Rose Marie-
This lovely poem leads me to patience, to wait until the creation is complete. ANd there is an outsider, an influence that tries to become one with me and my creation and it is not their's to take part - it is mine - and so I stay silent, feeling it's passion and power until it is safe for me to complete and emerge.

Love to you
Gail
peace.....
