I BUILD, UGONNA
(for Ugonna)
Dove:
I build, Ugonna,
a Castle of Dreams:
see it; touch it ... hear it
Listen: the music of Love lingers here
feel the satin whispers of Light
slowly searching your soul
I build this Castle
in the midst of a storm
this Castle of Silence
surrounded by the din of Darkness
Nest in its loving Loft
awaiting the Dawn
soar on the rays
of the Sun
Eagle!
A generous tribute to a human-hearted person whose creative faculties are ever soaring like an eagle.Thanks for sharing.

It seems to me as if you are rather building a bridge than a castle – a bridge between two seemingly irreconcilable extremes (dove and eagle). Or, creating something strong by starting with something tradionally (culturally) weak, which eventually overcomes a negative environment. There is some correlation beween this poem and Windbreek. Maybe this theme of the (noble) seemingly weak, conquering the (evil) strong is consistently present in the work of Myra Lochner? (Someone may get a doctorate by analysing the poetry of Myra!)
Honestly, for the first time, I cannot find words to express my heartfelt cherishment and appreciation of this moving tribute to my person, Myra! I can only say that "I BUILD, UGONNA" will inspire and enrich my soul for a life time... I am overwhelmingly grateful in every unfathomable sense! Ugonna
As everyone else said, very beautiful tribute and I know Ugonna is just gushing over it or he wouldn't have sent me here. :) It's wonderful to see someone take the time to write something so nice about someone else.
what a beautifully written tribute to a loving and kind soul..... this is so inspiring Ugonna has the spirit of an eagle
Myra: A beautiful poem and tribute to our postpoems member, Ugonna. The spirit is contagious, at least here, among friends. Thank you for sharing such a dedication.
This is such a lovely tribute to a very special person. Such profundity in this line: I build, Ugonna.... As if to say, this is what I do: I create, therefore, I am.. Well said. Well done. Amy
Gentle is the night♥
dear ugonna a beautiful tribute to a beautiful person
Indeed Ugonna is deserving of those castles you build. He is someone who is a Castle builder himself. His dreams, his heart, his thoughts are built of pure love for all humanity. His writings are as smooth as to tenderly move through our souls, searching for it's rightful place to rest within us. As I once said long ago; "He is the sun and I just a flower in a distant field." Yet his rays so strong and warm they reach and lift me up out of some of my darker moments. Ugonna is a wonderful well deserving man of such a beautiful tribute.
Interesting poem. Better order takeout Ugonna, hate to see you miss a meal..=o)
Myra, This is a lovely poem - so expressive of the beauty of God's creations. How fitting that you dedicated this poem to Ugonna! It was with great pleasure that I read your inspiring words. Sincerely, Helen Schmidt
Ugonna is such a soaring spirit! What a deserving tribute! As I just told him today, it is a joy to frolic in his words of tenderness and wisdom! A wonderful way to express gratitude and admiration for a genuinely sparkling jewel as Ugonna!
