If I knew grace amid embrace of time,

that declares how encapsulating and

alluring this lyre of blessed energy;

 

then lull of many women surely

inspired quiver of strings, which

brings respite clear and sonorous,

 

recognition of when gods plucked

from instinctive desires; Ravens

conveyed Apollo's dreams,

 

weaving lyrics...beating natures

pulse; symbol of artistry – free from

austerity – a poets Greek mythology.

 

The Raven is associated with Apollo

through communication.

My mother was called Grace, as were her mother and three more generations before her. There was a lull of many women in our family but none ever struck me as being mythological. 

A verry nice poem Jenny that's made me think.

Jenny, you MUST know grace, to write how you do! I like very much

"weaving lyrics...beating natures / pulse" which made me think of the flutter of wings being like a pulse and the flight-paths of birds being invisible veins in the heart of the sky
