Stargazing
An Ekphrastic Terza Rima Inspired By Carl B Parker's wonderful painting
Introduction
I once saw a painting by Carl, and it resulted in a story that he liked. I probably saw it because he is married to Misty Rae, who many of you WILL know
This is Carl's Facebook page with a link to his blog.
Here is my first Vocal piece inspired by Carl's work.
This is an ekphrastic terza rima, a form invented by Dante Alighieri for 'The Divine Comedy'.
The music is my favourite Rainbow song, "Stargazer"

This Land
Companion Preface This work appears in four movements, not as revisions of one another, but as different ways of standing on the same ground. The first speaks with grit. The second listens for what still opens. The third braids what was once held apart. The fourth offers a vowβsmall, human, unfinished. Together, they trace a walk rather than an argument. What changes between them is not the land, but the stance of the one walking it. You may enter at any point. You may linger where something recognizes you. Nothing here asks for agreementβ only presence. β Flower InBloom

The stars do tell stories if we take the time to read. Good job.
Great poem, Mike. I like the Terza Rima format; it appeals to my need for rhyming verse.
I didn't know he was Misty's husband. That's a beautiful poem!
