Poem


      HOW AN ARTIST IS BORN

      In the throes of their hurt
      In the cleaving of their hearts
      Churns the spores of cosmic force

      Rising like a tidal wave, bringing in its wake

      Not mere voices and images
      Not mere whims and moods
      But the very genesis of truth.

      Blessed are those who dream in pain
