APOGEE Poet

Join a daily celebration of poetry and the arts. This blog gives voice to the academics, the arts, creativity, expression and the pursuit of TRUTH. All art forms, all academic interests are timeless reflections and revelations of the human condition. Passion, poetry and the arts fuel the creative fires that move me to expression and deep gratitude. My published book of poems, THE WIND AND THE WILLOW is available at Barnes and Noble and online booksellers nationally and internationally.

Libation

the river flows to the ocean waters
cresting waves resound
quiet waters enfold
so be these tides of time
shores blessed in libation
and I bathed in the baptism of JOY.

"bathed in the baptism of JOY." Yes! Perfect words for the Georgia O'Keeffe

Theanne, I am ever inspired by Georgia O'Keefe. When I am told that particular works of mine are very likened to her style, I receive such a comment as a welcomed compliment. Thank You ... XOXO
