Close the sound of birds
in pastures nothing to perceive
of the sea beneath a lovely world,
magical, like a pearl in a house of stone,
a bed of time, tide washing through the soul.
Hear the soul lift up eyes to the sound,
the sky, and hear a breeze serene
feel like dust on the moon
beneath a magical story
madrigal lovely.
World waxing lyrical
lies unfold the miracle story,
the lies and the miracle fresh in a shell
of sand and tide to wash your heart, the love,
your soul, lift eyes to the sky and hear a voice serene.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
