Notes About The Poem

Beyond

I've penned a sea of
          words in this brief time
while putting love and
          life to verse or rhyme
and yet no phrase or
          poem approaches this -
the beauty of a sky ...
          or child ... or kiss …
the human soul swims
          deeper than the night
and grasps the things
          we can not say or write
someday, ALL we create
          will meet sweet death
I pray we choose a poem …
          for our last breath.
