" LAKE MICHIGAN'S WALL "
Here I would sleep, or read, or pray
From early morning, or 'til end of day
As I watch waves crash, upon the shore
Where from me so often, sweet poetry pours
As I sit upon the wall, passersby do help create...
The magic that blows, from spring through fall
I consider it a blessing, Lake Michigan's wall
As I make the walk each day, to this city beach
I find inspiration, normally beyond my reach
I spread my blanket, this mystic perch, so comfortable...
I long for scenes, where man has never trod
There to share, with my creator, God
But the passersby and this lovely landscape
Soar my soul far beyond that which I normally create
As though heavenly ink has finessed, this majestic façade...
Tony Taylor. (Chicago)

T, this write speaks to me on spirituality and inspiration merging (some say they are the same) and finding your own 'Michigan Wall' to wake a song or poetry, perhaps a painting. In Paris, there is a hill where, back in the day, painters like Van Gough would often times go to paint, or just cool their thoughts and perhaps, facilitate the artistic process. Nature can be a powerful medicine for the soul. Hey, you are very fortunate to have such a place to inspire and edify, these are profound verses you composed here in recognition and appreciation of what God gave free of charge....cool work, brother.....there is a documentary on National Parks on PBS, that speaks on some of these points, as well.... have great day....enjoyed this breath of fresh air poem....great pull quoted line....cheers
I find inspiration, normally beyond my reach

Watching the ships roll in...
