Painting "Apple" by Steve Yazzi. Native American Artist
Poets are the voices of their age. Who now are our voices of the 21st century? Change is the only constant. Our knowledge of the universe changes. Societies change. The world changes. Language changes. Our understanding of the past changes as do our expectations for the future. Listen to an award winning and published voice of change.
Witness the light's way of seeing
The apple's slow fall from grace.
Truth caught in a stumbling voice
Singing my song.
For in falling,
Came the catcher's hand
Snatching the empty air.
