01 Gentle Poetry

Blessed spirit of gentle poetry

Arranger of words that provides meaning

By whom human thoughts proceed in writing

To comfort mankind with its own story

Speak kindly today with splendoured beauty

Amidst the sense of hopeless despairing

Over the follies of human making

Which have robbed the world its civility

     By poetic excellence through and through                

       May the joy in every soul be restored                      

          And its vision for living be revived                                  Spirit of Poetry

     By poetic revelation so true                                                         Soneta 039

       May the patterns of wisdom be returned                                   Petrarca

          To enhance the goodness in human life                                 AD 2002

                                                           [Back]

 

 

02 Living Poetry

Joyful lover of living poetry

Who weaves meaning from the patterns of life

And generates purpose for its great strife

Against the tricks of cheap banality

Arise and greet basic reality

With rationality boldly drive

That utility may be maximized

In the path towards perfect liberty

                                          Speak now with passion to exalt freedom

                                             And with it soar to reach a new height          

Spirit of Poetry                        And there celebrate the being of one

Soneta 040                         Who will never walk the path of serfdom

Petrarca                               For now is the time to carry the light

AD 2002                                    When darkness has fallen all around

                         [Back]

 

03 Active Poetry

Come to the poetic activity

With integrity truly sanctified

And in its totality magnified

Through a process of continuity

Search the inner potentiality

And with flexibility realized

For conditionality modified

To find the greatest possibility

     Positivity may then generate                                       

       Productivity of the writing pen                                  

          By which poetry shall reflect the mind                                      Spirit of Poetry

     Source of creativity that relates                                                           Soneta 041

       The unspoken with the clearly spoken                                                  Petrarca

          Great infinity with some simple rhymes                                              AD 2002  

                                                          [Back]

 

 

04 Cosmic Poetry

Divine source of emanation supreme

The one life that begets all living things

Through creation will unceasingly bring

The cosmic light through its eternal beam

      Great patterns of formation determine

      Structures and shapes of all that will become

      For their realization when all is done

                                          Good and beautiful so shall it be deemed

                                                 Therefore praise the One who moves the process

                                                    The mighty power beyond and within

Spirit of Poetry                             In whose mercy all things are gathered in

Soneta 042                                To proceed to other empty spaces

Petrarca                                         There the light in all of its purity

AD 2002                                          Becomes matter through its own energy

                                                                                               [Back]
