A humbling power An artist finding her voice at 20 years of age She got down to work Rolled up her sleeves And let it flow 2 or 3 poems a day Many artists are able to do this: Commune with Source Bring back the beauty for the masses You can do it And if you can, then so can I Her story is a description of How you get up on top of the life force energy And produce an amazing depth and breadth Of resonant energy Be careful If you lose that trail Spend it all You risk everything When Sylvia lost the trail She tried to die But 20 was too young So she got down to work Rolled up her sleeves Couldn't let it flow There were fits and starts And 10 years later She took her own life What if We were more mindful of the rare flowers that live among us? What if?
