Above the Moon

A poem is born right here at home No need to fly where I'm alone I've often wished for wings that fly To take a magic carpet ride To places deep where phrases hide So rich with wisdom, and insights known Above the moon, where stars are keeping Amazing words that form a poem If closing eyes and knowing this The wonder of poetic bliss Are beneath my feet, beneath my stare A poem resides most anywhere The voice inside my head must share My life, my friends, my family Within my reach, are memories Where lies a wealth, a poem or verse To touch a few with heartfelt words A poem unfolds ...one tiny rose It starts new life, so tightly closed But given life, it opens wide And takes me on a carpet ride I pray for words that will not hide To take you too..........upon this ride Above the moon, beyond the stars To land upon a lonely heart ______________________________
