"some are born to sweet delight ... some are born to endless night..."

born we each to be

the call to destiny

beyond the perceived despair

be the grace, be the care

with each breath we to define

the need, the touch of the divine

and so with blessed convictions true

be the fate that calls onto you.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

APOGEE Poet

 "some are born to sweet delight ... some are born to endless night..." ~ William Blake

My eldest son, as a young teenager, introduced me to THE DOORS... yes, instantly an accord was experienced. The poetry, the rhythmic call of the music and the words sung with such depth of feelings, were magnetic.

Jim Morrison ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Morrison ) was a poet, one who sought meaning in each encounter, one who wanted to convey what we were to be aware of, responsive to, ever to appreciate cause and effect, ever to know we are the ultimate deciders for the fate of our BEING.

F A T E

I am told it is FATE...
... if it is so, then to thyself ask... F A T E ...

     what Freedom am I to unfold
          what Aspiration from time untold 
               what Treasure of self to reveal
                    what Eternal calling beyond conceal...

Words in Revelation

IS IT

Is it brush in hand and thought in heart
From which this painting has its start
Where comes this call I hear as mine
Word, color and form these gifts of time
Is it the Muse that summons the soul
Beauty be the quest, beauty be the goal
And when in completion a work is to be
Is it the Muse I hear in joyful reverie
Is it Truth that anoints each new day
With the knowing path of the spirit's way
Ever present this reach to do and create
Welcome I Truth, the Muse, Destiny and Fate
God be known in what I receive and give
This be the decree for each moment I live
Is it when faith and knowing jointly resound
That God and the Muse so freely are found
So be it brush or pen in heart, mind or hand

It is to be in the Creator's fullest command.
