The Illustrated Guide to I Spy
 I SPY" INSPIRED POETRY
|
    |
The “I Spy” archive “I Spy” is a television series which surely touched many hearts and minds. One admirer, moved by the gentle, exquisiteand classic writing of the poet Ryokan, has been inspired to paraphrase his words to muse over the intangible relationship between the artist and his public.
First, we read Ryokan's words. Then we read an interpretation of these timeless lines, here speaking of how a 20th century medium has transcended its banal environment, and presented something like the enigmatic “I Spy” episode THE WARLORD.
 The flower invites the butterfly without so intending
The butterfly visits the flower without so intending
The flower blooms, and the butterfly comes,
The butterfly comes, and the flower blooms.
Likewise I do not know you;
Likewise you do not know me.
Without knowing, we follow heaven's way.
An actor invites his unknown audience
The audience responds and is moved by the actor
A writer creates and the reader opens
The reader believes, and the storyteller continues.
Likewise, we do not know you;
Likewise, you do not know us.
Without knowing, we have connected
and traveled the way together.
- Catherine Faulkner
DARK STARS The dreamer dreams himself
in all the people of his dreams.
Beginning in old landscapes
in nineteen sixty-five,
two men running running running
in the diffuse hope of their lives.
Forever young intent entranced
I lie with a bursting heart
on the threshold of enchantment
seeing, listening, thinking . . .
-I confess to beauty-
Now gone to ripeness
gone to tenderness
the child, the memory
so brightly vanquished!
But unrestrained, black and white, elegant.
They taught first trust: then completeness.
And only the soul understands:
Those hands, linked like brothers' hands.
