Write!<br />
by Olivia Homewood<br />
Send me a phrase to blaze through <strong>the</strong> night,<br />
a cacophony of a myriad beasts put to flight!<br />
Speak soft… <strong>the</strong> blushes of aureate lovers<br />
under Stygian skies…<br />
or tell me when dusk first caresses <strong>the</strong> diamond dew droplets…<br />
Heaven’s tears<br />
of great majesty, humanity…<br />
as mortals hound knowledge<br />
across seas searing, crags crashing,<br />
ever beguiled by <strong>the</strong> taste of <strong>the</strong> merest drop.<br />
Oh pray! For let it never stop!<br />
Or when winter bites raw, <strong>the</strong> world trembling in <strong>its</strong> jaw,<br />
to appra<strong>is</strong>e <strong>the</strong> daring of summer’s long day,<br />
Oh shout, speak, say!<br />
For <strong>the</strong>se are our words to outpass time, tumult and tempest.<br />
Soak up <strong>the</strong>ir mystery…<br />
take bounteous swallows, swigs-tender sips<br />
and wake… Shakespeare dancing on my lips.<br />
