Releasing to Manifest

In moonlit depths, my cycle’s end,
A manifestation yet to mend.
Intent so strong, yet aim so frail,
Thirteen days set, but haste did prevail.

The process followed, yet intent submerged,
In depths of doubt, my vision blurred.
Release and see, the truth unfold,
If wisdom’s light can make me bold.

With words I weave, my heart’s desire,
Intent and praise, my soul’s afire.
The outcome flows, like whispers soft,
Ideas aglow, a dreamscape aloft.

Space I create, with intent imbued,
The world spins on, while time renewed.
No longer bound by procrastination’s chain,
A new horizon, where dreams attain.

The moon’s sweet song, my spirit’s guide,
Delightful tunes, where hope resides.
With eyes anew, I see the way,
A new-found path, where dreams can sway.

Words like dancers, my soul’s delight,
Each chance I seize, with all my might.
New intentions rise, with fervor’s flame,
Emotional tides, no longer to tame.

A paradigm shift, a sudden turn,
Ideas ignite, like stars that burn.
No need for verse, yet sound’s sweet seed,
A rhythmic pulse, where wisdom freed.

From icy grasp, sacred thoughts revive,
Ancient whispers, where stories thrive.
Forgotten tales, once lost and deep,
Retold anew, from slumber’s sleep

What makes a good poem?
A poem is an expression of beauty lurking in mans soul. A poem crafts art through the use of words. A poem uses minimum words to express maximum meaning.

A poem attach itself to the readers mind in wonder, contemplation and deep concentration….
And ultimately transform his paradigm by shock, expansion or attraction. A poem has a rhythm and rhyme that appeals to the listener even if the language is not understood. A poem is complete, it is whole and stand without explanation, yet allow different people to discover different interpretations within it. Layered a poem has a multiplicity of meaning and it excavated the full treasure trove of language, the new, the old and forgotten. It speaks its own truth and appeals to the imagination.
A poem is born from the passion of inspiration speaking images that adresses both heart and mind. A poem must be memorable to encode it firstly in the brain, then the mind and ultimately in the unconscious knowing. A poem knows its topic intimately like a lover his beloved. A poem makes man fly to heaven or drool in hell but never leaves man untouched in his soul. In a poem each word tells its story through the its meaning, placement and emphasis. A poem tells a writers truth irrespective of whether he speaks for himself or the collective.
