Inspired by "The Poets" by Evan Boland
Thank you, Dana Herman, for bringing this to us during our writing circle.
Lion in the stars
you are brilliant and alive
Poets try to name you -- they can't
for you are without words
even as your form
comes and goes in our vision
Lion in the stars
the "jewelled beast"
I found you along the Blue Ridge Parkway
eyes in the headlights
alerted me to your presence
And then...
you were gone
Lion in the stars
you are the sun of my life
you have lent me strength
more times than I can count
To find the lion in me
takes the courage that lifts
that soothes
that connects
that roars.
