Here's to all dreamers! I relished your reference to Michelangelo and his Sistine Chapel masterpiece and your three-line stanzas filled with imagery. Big cheers- Joan

Hi Reconciled,

I'm getting so forgetful I don't remember people's names anymore. Not even my grandkids names. I never thought I'd turn out this way, but the older I get the more forgetful I get. I loved your poem. As usual you did a really good job in writing it and I really enjoyed reading it.

    NO!!!!! Love it exactly as it is!!!! God said' Let us create man in our image'...obviously He didn't mean human....the Holy Spirit is a spirit, God is a spirit....no, He meant, ....creators!!!! Beautiful dreamers!!!! You nailed it.

Thanks to God, there is a dreamer in all of is. There is also talent of many kinds in all of us. Your poem is eloquently worded.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I can read many times this poem, while listening to the beautiful music, and experience remembrance, sympathy, warmth, even love. I take it from the beginning and I smile again. Thank you,
Gianina

Your poem is overwhelmingly beautiful. I liked the way you gave the first verse a style of its own. That seemed to be the introduction. The following thoughts match through rhythm. Creating a a work of art takes perseverance dedication and hard work. The only thing that talent does is make art look easy.
