At a Crossroads a Poet Is Born

I hold my papers and pen not a poetry to write it is the school year again one other journey in time. My ever burning concern would my words find their way as all my candles I burn to meet yearning faces each day. A thirst for light in young hearts I lend my soul, the blanks I fill and then a whole story starts quenching feels would be a thrill. When my pupils take my notes would they read devotion in many a line my fear, a quote or a word floats my quill unveiled in heart shrine. I hold my pen with great zeal two paths I walk, a heart is torn my love how can I conceal at a crossroads, a poet is born.
