The Elusive Poem
I wish I could find it the elusive poem
I dive deep into the word pool of my mind
To no avail
My magnum opus eludes me
My creativity is like a wide-open plane
But still one poem does not show itself
In the fertile garden of my mind
I prune away discordant thoughts
But still the opus does not bud
I feel the words caressing the
Synapses of my mind
Yet I cannot Conjure them
Cannot channel them through
My hand to the pen
From the pen to the paper
Why is this poem so elusive
I mean it no harm
I only wish to share it
If only it could know the joy
That it would bring when it is read
It would no longer remain hidden
It would burst forth with the beauty
And brightness of the morning sun
As it tops the mountains and explodes
Onto the valley floor
But alas it is not meant to be
The elusive poem still hides itself
My magnum opus still eludes me
