Image Surrounded By Words
I have sketched your image on my paper
Then words came out to surround your presence
The words wafted higher than the image
Went and moved around catching air currents
Beauty surrounded my drawing with ease
A heart was enveloped there inside her
But it was words that described her being
That’s what brought her life, it was the answer
So this image, consumed by many words
I fling this image into the high sky
Its beauty caresses those around it
Words brighten all their lives, so they can fly
Absorbed are more words from seasoned poets
Listening to their lives as it goes on
Flying by the highest point it ignites
Sending ash to my feet just like the dawn
I hold the remains inside of my hand
Just by magic it goes back to true form
Beautiful girl on a page of paper
With many words now on it to transform
It peeks my mind to see all these poems
Created by the flying of this show
And its corresponding words to then see
We are all poets, just that some don’t know
