"The power of language in
The scriptures; charity;
Empathy; the dialogue
Of inner clarity."
As he spoke, our minds glistened;
Our hearts became angels;
Rooms filled with wise harmless fire,
Fueled by purest desire.
(June 1991, Provo, Utah)
"Croft of Light" is a forum for poetry, photography, and philology (the love of language). With Emily Dickinson as a tutor, Dag Hammarskjold as a mentor, and Noah Webster as a teacher, I hope to express light through lyric verse. Many of the texts are psalms, meant for musical accompaniment. My style favors simplicity and sincerity. My voice can be comic or serious. My tone may be innocent or ironic. Some of the pieces are just for practice. Respectful responses and comments are welcome.
