A Poet's Words

Build a pulpit on my heart,
So I may preach again,
A word of loving art,
With a stroke,
Of my own pen.

It's just a heart that beats,
Everything from deep within,
Bleeding into ink,
A voice that carries,
Through a pen.

Might they realize,
Understand,
Just what this is,
Given from on high,
A gift with a pen.

Elegantly expressed! I LOVE the line "Bleeding into ink". Poetry is very much like that- so deep in our veins that writing feels like we are "bleeding" our emotions onto the page! Terrific piece! ;)
