Amidst the ultimate creative act I am written Into and onto and out of myself. Cursive curving down my spine, Skillful penstrokes, muse divine, I am your masterpiece, And you will be my opus. My mouth is a new page, My tongue your first chapter. Lay me across your lap, open me, And read, and write, with pure delight What we create Our love, our fate.
“Do not be afraid; our fate Cannot be taken from us; it is a gift.” ― Dante Alighieri, Inferno
