Poetry

The strangeness of your words Foreign not in origin but in order These words speak to me Yet these words evade my understanding Poetry you say, but they do not rhyme Their beauty not defined by their meaning They reach the heart and mind Words never spoken or uttered A boring song they would make But a great spell they have cast Their origin known, destination unknown Who do you write for, if not yourself Yet I have been inspired Powerful are these words Powerless am I
