Of a Piece  

                      by MarciaMarcia

 

a finished piece of writing

is distanced from 

its author’s heart 

it’s architect’s mind 

It's maker’s hand

 

quietly words rest

whole and tempered 

weighted 

with life-alluring breath

 

till the hour of release 

likened to a tiny bird 

beyond open windowed

wings spread a-flight 

into a world it must survive

 

each line of shaded nuance

and rhythmic cadence prove

arrays of mitered colors 

from its multi-structured hues 

unfold myriad intimations

of the purpose and the meaning 

their messaged gifts imbue

“A finished piece of writing is distanced from its author’s heart”, yes very true Marcia and thank God. Maybe that is the reason for writing, especially poetry. Just let it go.

Your poem is really lovely and I don't even need my glasses! Tom Brown

Hi Tom Brown

So glad you agree that once we finish a work and let it go of it, setting it free into the world, it hopefully resonates it's life, on its own. 
         Thanks Tom Brown

And the same is true of a painting revealed by its maker to other eyes, or a song shared for the first time with an audience. The wish of most creators is that their artwork, once liberated, will continue its life in the hearts and minds of others.
