Return to Old Masters
Creation waits for the sons
and daughters of God
to be who they were created
to be. An unfamiliar Spirit
has made it’s way inside;
it calls this place home now,
nestles in forgotten corners,
makes sugar floss from
cobwebs and shatters
the sticky glass. It tells me
there is so much love to be had:
nights among our ancients
in Rome, blood and bread
to break in remembrance—
but who sits on the throne
of your heart? If you are
the sunlight, who keeps
the icarian summers
from self-exhumation,
blessing this return to old masters?

Sugar floss from cobwebs is beautiful imagery. Your words speak to the eternal struggle within to put our demons to rest.
Thank you for sharing this
Came here to say the same about sugar floss from cobwebs. Beautiful poem!
Same image stood out the most to me (though many great ones). 👏👏👏
