Elan Vital
‘Elan vital' of lyrical acutance
Is carved open from veiled mausoleums
Shrouded embodiments of perpetual beauty
Like a dagger etching ink out of an uncut sapphire
To script life from the milieu of wood pulp
To exonerate pearls of poetry
From the oyster of a poet's heart
As the enchanting nib entwines
Tapestries of romance and epic saga
To metamorphose banality to a rainbow of chimera
To engrave the revelations of the third eye
In the timelessness of impression
In the perpetuity of scripted words
