Group Poetry
Creativity will not be stopped. We had a marvelous occasion to gather at the studio to celebrate a staff member’s birthday, and to share our talents. Spontaneously, we decided to create a group poem— Sitting in a socially distanced circle, armed with a single piece of paper and pencils, one person began the poem, writing one line, then passed it to the next person, who, without discussion, added a line. And so it went, around the circle, handed back to the birthday person to finish it. The following is the result!
OUR CREATION
Baptism Blue Eyes
Se acercaron a mi
And I fell face first through the Rabbit Hole
Colors flashing past my curious eyes
Whirring down toward Endless dark
Where I felt Nothing and Everything
My Heart spinning in acceptance and encompassing peace
My Soul bursting through unseen barriers in joyous dances of ecstasy
I feel Everything and Yet I feel weightless, knowing that all will be well
Because it was then that I knew I was alive, I was Born again
And had only the one task of Sharing Love.
