lyric undertone of life

Poetry is the lyric undertone of life, the pulsating current that at one time brings a quiet vivaciousness to ordinary situations and generous subtext to the extraordinary. The elegant, almost sublime textures of a football game are enhanced by its startling brutality. Birds calling out to each other, some seeking a mate, others calling for a parent emphasize the fragility and majesty of life's constant circle of wonder. Poetry is in the heart, mind and soul of us all. It fills us with a passion of simple things and a need for complex textures in a world that by nature is both chaotic and ordered.
