Love to chat with that lady, and to walk with her and speak of many thing would be a joy!

Here's something for poets.

Great Works

Great works, when mind and heart co-write the soul’s narrative,
letting flow the words that bring us into the realm of greatness.
Some times it is essays on humanity, or an epic full of imperatives,
or a story of legend past yet so alive, or a poem of some deepness.

We are captured by that work, and time slips from us so effortlessly,
as we travel inward to the core of the work, and ourselves as well.
Led by the words, we travel the route the writer laid for us so carefully,
and we arrive at the place they intended, and we find the truth of their spell.

Be it what it may, a great work is not judged by size, or word counts, or such,
but rather by the power it has to take us so easily into itself, to enfold one.
We are carried to a place the writer wished us to go, ourselves they touch,
our guides as it were to where only they can lead, until their work is done.

Is it magic to take a reader on a trip
into the inner sanctuary of our souls?

Great Works I think it takes a special magic to move a reader, to bring them into our night worlds, cause their emotions, passions to move. A special magic we hold.
