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.
