I have written secrets of the ages
with the blood pen of my soul
who can read reed web of words
follow fine gossamer silk strands
walk within decreasing circle
heart of ink hub web is
a knowledge spring flowing
crystal words are hidden best
beneath still silent waters
diving into waiting light
we return cast our soul
down through time
immemorial ages
we seek rise from dust
earth to reclaim lost heritage of light

I have trouble voting on my phone. I wanted to vote 5 stars by sweeping my hand across all five stars, but my phone treated it as 1 star.
I wrote the poem 'Writing Aspirations Beyond The Stars', inspired by a comment on the poem 'Time Seals Release Lost Heritage Light', by the poet Denis Mair and dedicated to Denis Mair.

Your idea of a hub of intersecting strands is compelling. I also like the image of crystallization. Guy Murchie wrote of the pooling of information that led to the emergence of life. And life is always emerging, which we see through poetry's window.
