Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Iβve never heard of a Terzanelleβ¦ Winter Solstice is vividly portrayed through the format and poem.
Wish I had an Angie to inspire me. beautiful works of art and poetry,
That artwork is exciting and alive!!! No wonder you find so much inspiration from it :) And your poem fits perfectly too
Lovely poem Mike!
That artwork and your poem work brilliantly together! Loved it!
I had Stonehenge in my mind as I went through the verses. Has a prayerful effect, Mike.
