Emerging Voice

 

The reader meets the writer

on the page or on the screen.

And within that relationship

a significant bond is formed.

A learning, an understanding,

a shared emotion, an insight.

Sharing distinct imagery through

a unique blending of words.

Experience joins imagination.

Awareness enhances vision.

The interior voice

has emerged to be heard.

Inspired Souls

Artists seek and discover

epiphanies of beauty

and receptacles of mystery.

Poets follow paths of passion

pursuing relevant words

that translate their imaginations.

Both artists and poets

value the vision

that opens their senses,

and enables them to

capture on canvas

or in lines on a page,

what they seek

from within

their inspired souls.

Expression

Seeking illumination
through God's imagination,

I revel in His creation
on every walk outdoors.

Praise enters my experience;
eager for expression.
