Love Song for The Great Plan

I was fooling around recently with the idea of being an American Transcendental poet and thinking about my excitement in high school when I read T.S. Eliot's poem that includes the lines, "In the room women come and go/speaking of Michelangelo," and I came on to the idea that maybe there is a plan and that we are all players in it. This poem was originally much longer, it's better this way. The question will always be, what is it. The artists, creating their art are trying to help answer this question that has a thousand faces and millions of Michelangelos.

LOVE SONG FOR THE GREAT PLAN

Our role in it—

What is it?

In our rooms we come and go

Dreaming of dancing

With Michelangelo

We pause between thoughts

Now we know what is it

Life force is creating again

Poetry is being written

The muse has made a visit

NOTE: "In the room the women come and go/ Talking of Michelangelo"

From "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," T.S. Eliot, 1920. Eliot was talking

about the inaninity of discourse in society, where we do not focus on what

really matters.
