LIVE I

 




Live I 

lie I, as my own person
time tempers not the passions
the fire of self in forging flame
the visions held
the missions defined
the quest embraced
imaginings real
line, form, structure
the way of the artist
thought, word, sound
the way of the poet
live I as my own person
the fire of self in forging flame.


Rose Marie Raccioppi 
Poet Laureate
Orangetown, New York
