Sounds, Letters, Words... BEING...

        Sounds and the corresponding letters, 

           letters and the corresponding words, 

             words and the corresponding meanings, 

               meanings and the corresponding thoughts, 

                 thoughts and the corresponding consciousness,

                   consciousness and the corresponding BEING, 

                     these be the fascination of this poet.

The Wizard Nebula

what fires your delight
what visions of commune do you bear
one that believes in the miracles of life
the gifts bestowed by the Creator
holding to faith
abandoning fear
living the blessings of the divine order
and the fascination of the Wizard Nebula.
