A Poet's Mind
There's a lot of pages to read
Before you know a book,
But a poet's life is guessed
With just one look.
You scan through the pages,
Only hoping to find
One painful or cheery moment
That shouts the poet's mind.
It's an enjoyment to many
To see what a poet has known.
It brings shadows of life,
So you can forget your own.
Pages of happiness and misery,
Pages you continue to turn,
Pages of someone else's life
That you feel you must learn.
Leaf after leaf,
You need the desire
To see what it's like
To live in someone else's fire.
