GENERALIC CH'I

Where once Ch'i had awaited to bring,
The inspiration of the moon and star,
To show heaven's written letter from the east,
In pictures drawn upon wisdom's signet ring;
Where the Croatian line's were lifted from afar;
Shown mato Generalic the mother of Ivan Generalic;
Holding her babe to look at saints,
And set upon the poor artist a love that waits;
Where deep within the inner soul,
Draws outward the grasp of heaven's glow;
And shown the Greek letters mirrored form,
On glass and paintings turbulent storms;
Where branches depict the thoughts awaited touch,
The grasp the pictures of the infant's forgotten trust;
And shown where its inner light,
Had breathed deep within his soul's delight,
And shown the pure heart,
Of years that passed in review within his heart;
Where the artist had held the pen to see,
The line's footnote of Generalic Ch'i.
