Catching the Drift

To sit and dream and write
my thoughts on vellum recite,
until the form becomes just right;
To look and listen and to see
watch,silent,and to be
a sponge absorbing in me;
Then let those feelings outwards fly
unfettered,poetic
white clouds upon a summer sky;
To touch another with my thought
whereby this infection is caught
and does not on paper, abort.

Then,will this idea live on
in other hearts,after I've done.

It does live on...it will live on...that is the beauty of wonderful poetry...that perhaps, (and hopefully) after we are gone...it will live on for future generations. Love, Carrie

This is what every poets does...dreaming and writing and observing everything around him. And all that is observed eternally remains in his soul, and as those feeilngs escape to the sky, he knows that it will touch someone in some profound way; and finally those words, " live on in other hearts." This Sonnet is magnificent...it has touched me deeply. Thanks for sharing it with us, Brian. Wishing you success. Warmest Regards, Andrew.
