Compose
I sit down to compose a verse
in which with pleasure I immerse
my mind and heart. What joy it brings
to me this night as my soul sings!
Yes, sing, my soul; guide my fingers
on the page where my hand lingers.
Let both the rhyme and rhythm flow
like from the sky fall flakes of snow.
Drift down, word-flurries of my mind
with heart’s emotions intertwined.
You drift down on this winter’s night
like snowflake sparkles of delight
to grace the page I write upon
as if a ballerina swan
has spun itself from inside me!
It sits here now as poetry!
