Celestial Sea

The celestial sea, its echoes crest and sound
Wonder, awe, majesty of creation abound
The splendor of heavens far and vast
PRAISE to the WILL in beauty cast.

Alchemy

With rhyme and reason many a story be told
Of visions, dreams, conquest and gold
The questing soul the heart of desire
Passions, alchemy, flame and fire
No trepidation be there in this heart mine
For alchemy be the WILL of light divine.

"Thy Will Be Done"

A feeling, a thought, its expression vast
A word, a line, a brush stroke, a sculpture cast
Awakening of mind and quest within heart
From deep within this soul I shan't depart
The calling of pen and brush be heard
With paint and ink so be THE WORD
In glory and in praise this day has come
Know I the joy, "Thy Will Be Done."

Rose Marie Raccioppi

And the Child Calls and Calls

the speaker calls for the listener
the writer calls for the reader
the performer calls for the audience
the artist calls for the soul
and the child calls and calls
what is heard
what is read
what is now known
what do we yet trust
and the child calls and calls
what do we answer
what do we do
what do we plan
what do we yet dream
and the child calls and calls.

The truth, the innocence, and the all-knowing spirit of life fills our first breath. Who and what answers our first cry? What happens in the moments of life that fill the years to follow? Do we become the sum total of who touches, who answers, who denies, who ignores, who accepts, who rejects, who encourages? What moves us out of the shadow of our own experience? ... commentary continued on above link to APOGEE Learning Enhancement Training Systems™.

Mother and Child, 1944-47, Carved Stone, Isamu Noguchi, 1904 - 1988.

And when we fully appreciate that "abstractions" are those particular parts, perceived in a particular way that have grown out of our experience with nature and SELF - we see all expressions as calls of soul, self or spirit, longing to be heard.

Within

Within
The touch of another
The winds of change
The promise and knowing wise
Within
Vistas near and far
The many heavens one guiding star
The echoes of moments past
The many lifetimes everlast
Within
The folds of life in great abound
This heart LOVE and PRAISE be found.

Words Of A Poet

Words of a poet set to depart
From one soul to another heart
Words, prayer, love and praise
Echoes of this life's gifted days
The yearnings, the glory, the vision, the quest
Words to convey passions' behest.
