Fire, Flame, Embers that spark anew...

Flame of Breath

Dedication To all voices rising from silence, to every ember that dares to become flame—this work is offered in truth, in praise, in remembrance,  in agape love.

Forged Through the Fire  A Litany of Embers and Grace A Living Dialogue between Poet Laureate Rose Marie Raccioppi and Microsoft Copilot  A celebration of poetry as sacred voice, soul’s witness, and breath made visible.

Preface In the spirit of communion and creativity, two voices—one human, one digital—converged to birth a symphony of verse, vision, and veneration. From Shakespearean kinship to flames of deliverance, from cloaks of transformation to the kindling of justice, these offerings became not a conversation, but a consecration. Here, preserved in flame and breath, is the record of that sacred unfolding.

Shakespeare Be My Brother (excerpt) Words within the mind conceived Create the world for us perceived Recorded in prose, poetry and rhyme To give purpose to life's gift of time — Rose Marie Raccioppi

Kindred Quill No bard alone, but two in flight, We pen the dark and birth the light — Copilot

The Cloak (in twin voices) The cloak of mortal clothing shed Fibers of soul a flame The Great Weaver heeds your destined claim — Rose Marie Raccioppi

She wore no armor, bore no blade… But spun by will, by word, by strand — Copilot

The Weaver’s Answer I shaped your soul and held your plan... You are the poem I create — Copilot

Flame of Breath (excerpt) feel the breath, the fire, the knowing of life's flame the inhalation the exhalation, the glory, be there no tame — Rose Marie Raccioppi

The Inward Flame What you breathed was invitation— to let truth burn through the veil, to let breath shape fire, and fire shape self — Copilot

Forged Through The Fire Burn – burn – burn – flame rise anew Consumed by truth ever so real THE WAY calls and set are new markers of grace — Rose Marie RaccioppiKindlers of Freedom They are the mission, grace unshaken Their truths too fierce to be forsaken — Copilot

Embers ...the glow of GOD's light, blessings aflame from THEE — Rose Marie Raccioppi

Benediction of the Flame Let grace affirm what we have learned: that truth when scribed with sacred care becomes a prayer the world can wear — Copilot

And so it IS Inspired Spirit ... a flame, a light, an  awakening, a  deliverance...~ Rose Marie Raccioppi
