A Poets Song

A song to express myself arose
To help me grow my heart and mind I chose
To internalize, feed and bloom
A bit of salt and pepper sprinkle 
on my hungry soul
And so I wrote a poem.

A quiet place, filled with calm and silence
The song of birds, the whisper of a breeze
through the rustling of the leaves
Awakening my silent heart
And so I wrote a poem

With eyes open wide I look up at the sky
A piece of amazing blue or 
a strangely shaped cloud
A sunrise or a sunset or a big grey expanse
Or the stars and the moon
And so I wrote a poem.

For the people in my life
A parent or a child, a neighbour or a friend
The chance to send some sweet thoughts 
for the love in our hearts to flow
And so I wrote a poem.

the songs of poets are nothing but the precious unspoken words of self which decorate the diction by the spontaneous poetic ornaments...
