When the Soul Starts To Leak
To break and take some time
we must To patch the holes
from which our soul leaks
Recharge, reset, remember why
The pen we chose to embrace
Still there arises a time for
Every poet that calls us
To decelerate, to stop, back up
And evaluate what it is that
Spurs us on
Is it questions such as these;
Does life temper our feelings?
Or do our feelings temper life?
Are pain and joy exclusive?
or are they conjoined?
Do pain and joy interrupt our lives?
Or do our lives interrupt our
Pain and joy?
So to break and take some time
We must to patch the holes from
Which our souls leak
But quell The quill we do accept
Though others may not understand
We do not wish to starve your feeding
It's just The need is there to
Decelerate, to stop, back up
And evaluate how best to
Patch the holes from which
Our soul leaks and seek the answers
to those painful questions
So once again we can create
