Awe and Aesthesis
by Giancarlo N. H. Gonzaga

The world is replete with the adept of craft
Yet masters are few,
And grandmasters farther yet between

Thus one is unprepared to witness
The poise, the flow, the greatness actualized
By an ascendant of art
A maestro of music
A genius of genre
A savant of style
A prodigy of polymathy
A thaumaturge of thought

Their presence brings calm and inspires
And to witness them perform?

It was enlightenment
It was rapture
As though I had seen through the eyes of God
