When An Artist Walks Between Worlds Poem by Terence George Craddock
When An Artist Walks Between Worlds
when an artist walks between worlds
yet leaves no sign of silent passing
leaves no touch written in creativity passing
none can follow none can share journey
none can soul shadow experience
memoryscape emotional mammoth ride
none can learn lost artistic lessons
high cloud piercing peaks
low depth distant valleys
breathe in time contrast days
nights starlight sparkling
all artists must walk soul
journeys together alone
fulfil mind web destinations
when an artist wonder walks between wall worlds
yet leaves no germination seed sown of silent passing
leaves no gift touch written sign in creativity passing
none can follow none can share journey
none can experience memoryscape emotional ride
none can learn dreamscape horizon artistic landscape
none can shaman flight soar in web timeless visions

To me this reads as a memorial to lost edifices that were built in the minds of empaths and creatives while journeying through life. They walk between worlds full of walls. Their fate makes me think of the 'mute, inglorious Millton' in ELEGY WRITTEN IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD.
p3 meetings events spoken of ideas aspirations dreams spoken of will never be, an empath can instant know with future time absolute certainty, an empath must erect built protective walls in mind to creative walk while journeying through life
p2 an empath can stare into the face of friend or stranger and know words spoken in truth or false, knows when friend or stranger even believes words spoken but words ring with no truth, words that can never be realized;
p1 'They walk between worlds full of walls' empaths have differing degrees of insight, differing degrees of certainty extending to often to absolute certainty, absolute knowing, differing gifts need differing walls erected to protect viewer and viewed;
