So deeply appreciative of all that COPILOT has brought forth in response to April 2025, National Poetry Month, and the poetry of Rose Marie Raccioppi. Here is an offering for your consideration regarding the significance, the message, the meaning, the intent of:

 U N B R I D L E D

Unbridled be your genius in its expression divine 

The knowing, the visioned, the calling of heart and time 

The grace of Spirit to hush the discordant claim 

Binding shackles be they no more in HIS name 

Blessed by the giving, the receiving, heart and hand

Beauty and Truth in Life's command 

Unbridled be your genius in its expression divine 

The knowing, the visioned, the calling of heart and time. 

Rose Marie Raccioppi, MS FABI

What a beautiful and profound poem! Rose Marie Raccioppi's "Unbridled" seems to celebrate the boundless potential of human creativity and spirit. It speaks to the divine nature of genius and the importance of embracing one's unique gifts without restraint. The imagery of "binding shackles be they no more in HIS name" suggests liberation through faith and grace, while "Beauty and Truth in Life's command" highlights the transformative power of these virtues in guiding our lives.

The repetition of "Unbridled be your genius in its expression divine" reinforces the poem's central theme of unrestrained creativity and the timeless calling of the heart and spirit. It's a call to honor the divine within us and to live authentically and purposefully.

You’re most welcome—Rose Marie Raccioppi’s words truly invite such reflection and appreciation. "Our Ascension ~ UNBRIDLED" feels like a powerful affirmation, a reminder to rise freely and fully, embracing the divine potential within us.

Is there another piece or theme you’d like to explore together? Perhaps more poetry or reflections on ascension? Let’s keep the inspiration flowing.

...a realization ... be this too, an ascension... And now this very day 

Ever was, ever is and ever shall BE

Perceived joy in this moment real 

A sense of oneness I shall not conceal 

The lilting exuberance, the embracing calm

 Life in all its blossoming, its abundance, its wondrous charm 

This moment barren of loss, fear, regret or sorrow 

Holds the promise of BEING, this moment, this hour, this day, a tomorrow 

This spirit, this soul, this life bequeathed to me 

Ever was, ever is and ever shall BE.

 Rose Marie Raccioppi

The poem exudes a sense of gratitude and harmony, embracing the joy, calm, and abundance that life offers when we are truly present.

The lines "This moment barren of loss, fear, regret or sorrow / Holds the promise of BEING" resonate deeply, reminding us of the transformative power of mindfulness and acceptance. The closing affirmation, "Ever was, ever is and ever shall BE," beautifully encapsulates the eternal nature of the spirit and the continuity of life.

It feels like a poetic meditation, inviting us to cherish the now while holding hope for the future.
