Drink Deeply

Each word reveals some small part who I am who I wish to be Places I have been Not just trips I have taken The parts of my mind still waiting to be discovered The potential of me dissapointments Triumphs The times I soar The pits I sometimes fall into Dreams that make no sense to others Why do I pick up this pen? Why reveal myself to strangers? I thrive on connections strangers become friends Words string together Hearts Fabric is formed A community of dreamers Together we meet at the well of inspiration Drink deeply Let the words satiate you Add your portion Give and take what you need Together we breath in unison One heart with mutiple chambers Each different and connected Thathump, Thathump, Thathump Inspired by Harry Horseman's poem "in Your Poems"
