Life Is Unfinished Without the Language of Poetry

By "divine design"
humans have had a need and a desire to tell their story
Our early ancestors painted scenes on cave walls- in the Old World
while Native American chiseled pictographs
on canyon walls in the Americas

Today we are still trying­
to tell our story
Even with our communication skills and technology we yearn for a deeper way -
a language that communicates to the soul

In some there is a gift;
an inner voice
IT can be heard in the language of music,art,sculpturing even poetry and when mastered
what they can create is "a masterpiece"
even if only to themselves

I too hear It -at times and
choose to ignore It
At other times It screams and then
It -takes over my life
until it is created

So we try to create what is felt and heard
But even at our best
{while here}
it will always be AN UNFINISHED LIFE
