Mind Is Not the Medium for Joy Alpha List Christmas Poems Philosophical Poems Sonnets Contents Home All poems: copyright by Nicholas Gordon Free scrapbook poems permission to use provided by the author. Mind is not the medium for joy. Each word should be a bell within the heart, Ringing like a wind-tossed, wave-tossed buoy, Restless in the grip of polished art. Years should be a cry of sculpted stone; Christmases long past, an oak-voiced choir, Harmonies that hollow out the bone, Rich with longing, reckless with desire. If meaning but had meaning, words would be Salient as the resonance of brass, Tearing chunks of glory from the sea, Melting steel with love for things that pass. All I would, I could to you convey Should I find words that might such non-words say. [contents] [home]
