This the blog of a would-be poet. As often as I am able, I will post a new poem. I may post sonnets, Haiku, other forms of poetry, and also free verse. Along with each poem, I will post the piece of music from which I drew inspiration. I would make the request that you start the music before you begin reading the poem. Music and Poetry are so closely tied, I believe they are best experienced together, and I encourage you to listen and read at the same time.

The Three Graces
There are three graces
"Too lofty for me to attain..."
First, there is the grace of elegance;
That creature which captures our eyes with its loveliness.
A beautiful thing, it pleases the senses.
"Beauty is passing..."
Selah
The second grace is that which decorates.
It grasps our attention through music and colour.
A mystical thing, it lightens the mind.
"Moth and rust destroy..."
Selah
Last, there is grace which favours the unworthy.
Offered without our seeking.
Given without our asking.
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock..."
Selah
