And the Poet Smiles

within the whisper of yesterday and now of anticipation of a dream words are imbedded deeply carved in the heart of a poet the words become his children to lavish praise and teach them where to go and grow the poet challenges the words as if they were colors of his heart and soul bequeathing to them the spirit of interlocking freedom he has done his best and that makes him smile
