A great sharing! Many thanks. The perception and depth are quite valid. Genius sometimes lies undiscovered through decades of time. Recognition eventually comes,and with it , greatness and longevity of ones work.....M

It is good whether if written by an eighty-one, thirty-three, twelve or seven years old Poet. "The Tombs of Genius" is a Paean to creativity.

I salute You, Poet.

A masterpiece is what this is Michael! Love Holly

Michael this is the dancing poet and I find this piece a masterpiece crafted like artisan of a deminished area. We need to be conscience of the present which is the only moment we can do something about! The past is who we are, the future is who we can become, and the present is most vital but we most learn to keep it simple. Catch you at a later date in the ionosphere brother keep soaring poet.

Michael, Bravo, a very well written piece you have penned. I love the picture also..One of my favorite classical men..(lol)
Peace, love, and light,

I love Beethoven, so that picture had me at the start, lol-the poem following was even better, it shows you write with a skilled hand.

Michael, a really great write, filled with abundent visuals and glimps of genius.

Dan

A most captivating piece, my friend. And I love Emerson's quote.

transparent thoughts... I love that line. I thought a bit about brains this week-- what an amazing gift they are... our imagination and ability to think make us (in part) partners with God-- we become creators on a small scale. Inside each brain, there's a universe of something. I heard Paul Harvey say once, that under the microscope, a brain cell looks like a galaxy. I find that utterly amazing and beautiful because it holds so much truth for me.
Think about it... inside everyone, there are zillions of galaxys just waiting to be created in your imagination. And like a toddler god, we weild our magic--creating--thinking--writing--composing--baking--crafting... and on and on.

Can't help myself... life is just so very beautiful, isn't it? --Charlie

Powerfully presented poem, Michael; great write! BRAVO!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Genius is transparent in the right collection of words, of numbers and other symbols, of paint thrown on canvas with passion, and the sound of music carried on the breeze. It goes unsung and is embraced by all. Thank you for bringing genius to AD.

...you are so right Michael..."Our genious lives in the visions we have barely caught"...in knowing deep within your fine pen...lightning strikes...and unseen...is seen.
