Poetics Presents

C. Leigh Young

As a Performance Artist, C. Leigh Young, has enjoyed a long distinguished love affair with language and writing. She has examined their relationship to theater, dance, poetry. As an artist in education, she actively seeks opportunities to infect every school-aged child with love for Language Arts in workshops that bring creative spoken words to life. T-Zero is please to be able to publish her first poem.

With You In Spirit

Knowing you will be in your moment

when you are there

Pulls me into space

and I am with you.

So stand in gilded grace

face to face with strangers

yearning for cultured phrases.

Step to the right

make room for ancient words --

words that make you vessel

Fill to brim the Past... Pour,

pour, no dowse the Present.

Splash minds, awaken Reason,

drench the Consciousness of Now

that each word shall utter to every heart

And I will drink the echoes.
