colored pencil art by Janet K. Brennan There are days when her heart so heavy it will not stay its place for the uneven beat. She wonders. What is this life? Seshat, who laid awake counting stars. For on the fifth sparkle, a wish fulfilled, to know universal truths, what dream is that? Did not Pegasus want a pony, Patricio a jump in the hay? Dull, it is she who desires the secrets of heaven. A wish perfect, enlightenment, discovery, leaping from star to star, sprouting wings. Each day searching, perhaps a bump, an extra layer of skin should her wish come true. A wise man knows, how strange this world. Pegasus got the hay jump. Patricio got the pony. Wings never sprouted. And yet, as her hands mapped, her face lined, she knew she could jump from star to star, unlock the secrets of the Gods with a dash of the pen. The gift to the writer . Can it lighten an old writer’s heart, or fulfill Seshat’s wish? . Be sure... as writers and artists, we paint pictures from God!

JB, you say it so well ! I specially like your last line! it really says so well! and the picture is very well done too! I guess all writers can just do what you say here - "she could jump from star to star, unlock the secrets of the Gods" But everyone in their own ways, and everyone have their own time, and yes, that is why poet laugh in their poems, and whisper in the wind, because they hold the keys to the music ( poetry) of Goddess! Very well written! Cheers!

"Pegasus got the hay jump, Patricio got the pony, wings never sprouted.. and yet..." The adversity and irony in the lines was wonderfully phrased. Thank you. I'm still smiling over your poem ten minutes after it. God, that was beautifully written.
