Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week, in honor of Labor Day (USA), is professions.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A philosophical number poem about the transcendent moment that can be achieved by an actor:
Shall there be a moment after all
In which each soul is overwhelmed by grace,
X-ing out the sense of time and place,
There within some small, half-empty hall
You fill beyond the brim with your embrace;
One moment in that spare, well-crafted space,
Needing all your art, each soul in thrall,
Enduring being's beauty face to face?
