Inspired by Walt Whitman and Lyn Cisneros
Regardless of our
leadership, we have lost
something great and wonderful-
a piece of humanity. The songs
of each “which belong to none else”-
they cease to be sung,
and so do we
cease to be,
one by
one.
I shall take up my song-
the song of the Daughter,
the Mother,
the Lover of Nature and all things
beautiful, all things solitary,
all things in communion with
Heaven and Earth.
I shall take up
the Song of the Poet.
Quote taken from Walt Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing.”

This is a great honor, Maria. That my humble ideas inspired this stunning work somehow validates me.
Your words are powerful - you have much to offer humanity. The earth is lovelier because you are here. That cannot be said of many people.
Lyn
