Garments of song

Whitman with his broad nature garments,

Neruda with his vast cape by the sea,

Millay with her scarves,

Elegant as a steeple,

Langston with his jazzy fibers,

Weary as lovely cabarets,

Kerouac with his vintage beats,

of golden eternities,

Gibran with his hermitage of robes,

Rilke and Lorca,

with their suits dapper,

as evening castles and flamenco lakes,

Songs and poems,

Caress with their melodious robes,

Kiss the heart,

Illumine souls,

With their lovely garments,

Of love, Beauty, compassion,

Warmth and Solace
