Being Sandra Lynn Sparks

I feel I have been a poet in several lifetimes, and that need to see life through a poet's perception informs every single thing that I do:

Inspiration

One turn of the head
and it has begun:
a moment turned to meaning
in a lifetime,
in many lifetimes.
What god chooses our meanings?
What piece of man?
What makes what happens a brick of existence,
or just a piece of sand?
Intention and chance marry.
In the wedding band, gold.

Orpheus

January 27, 1988.

Lines for the dark eyed Orpheus
Changed from matter into motion by the dying of his lungs:
Singing as the organs stretched tight as strings
Making music until suddenly he was music -
more fully than ever he was man.

And oh, I love.
That has not changed.
Some would shake their tears off
and turn their new washed eyes on some other man.
My clean eyes opened and saw music everywhere.
It glistens in the air
on snow
on leaves
on grass
in the dust of my table
on my skin
and hums, love, sometimes loud and sweet,
but, even whispered, always there.

Accepting this boundless thing, I pass it on.

And oh, I love.

That changeless thing.

The dark eyed Orpheus accepts from dreams.

Right now, I work hard, but cannot support myself. These are not times that artists can flourish in without help, without friends, without word of mouth - and without support. You can help me by spreading the word of what you've seen here, and by buying my work, as you wish. The more that people support the things they don't wish to see go away, the more jobs, for everyone, will come back. Support the creativity that makes survival a joy...
