I loved the way you read it! This is absolutely amazing, Trudi, the rhythm, the imagery, the energy! I felt like I was spinning through the stars with you. That final line, ‘a living Lemniscate’, is breathtaking. Pure poetic exuberance. Your voice brought it all to life even more, it carried the joy and motion so beautifully. A real delight to listen to! 🥰😍✨️❤️

My pleasure! Good morning! What a perfect way to start your day off, Trudi, and such a stunning piece to begin with. I hope today brings you the same joy and light your poem gave me. Spinning through the stars really does sound like pure magic! ✨

Bravo, Trudi! I love how your words and this painting go so well together - particularly that enchanting and exuberant last verse:

"A dance of abandon, a wildness within

A swirling surrender as the universe spins

Arms stretching, triumphant, leg raised I create

A sense of eternity, a living lemniscate"

What a wonderful rush of energy transformed into poetry. That's how it felt to me, Trudi. Also, I was dead impressed you landed on 'lemniscate.' (Beat that Yeats. lol)
