"Solitude Shared By Two"
To adjoining corridors one moves
quietly, stepping toward spaces solitary
yet connected one to the other
passing through each other steady
in their silence, teaching the stoic
beauty of a solitude shared by two
"Of Newborn Life"
The fragility of newborn life, all life -
from the tiger to the swan . . . awesome
in its frailness, to what it shall become
"Somewhere"
far off, deep in the spiritual woods
Possibility and Impossibility meet
creating sparks like sticks
rubbing together, like stones
smashing into each other
bringing fire into being
...from a collection of poetic pieces presenting thoughts, perceptions, and explorations of the imagination dressed in words that sometimes speak, sometimes sing, sometimes whisper, but always move with direction from image to image in a balanced flow of expressive force.
Carroll Blair is the author of seven books of poetry and philosophy, including Reaches, Quarter Notes, Grains Of Thought, and Facing The Circle. He attended the Boston Conservatory, graduating with a B.Mus. in Composition. He lives in Methuen, Massachusetts.
