Eyes of a Poet
The delicate eyes of a poet
see the world through the pain and joy
of their soul
where words form within its eternal space
that is unmeasurable
to feel...to sense...to ponder
with their passion's pen
to release what's felt
to feel
like the wings of birds gliding
in ethereal flight carried on the winds of emotions
that cross the eternities that lie within
and are born in the center of our being
as a wondrous wonder
to sense
as deep as an ocean
that churns and rushes to the shore
carrying thoughts without prophecy or fulfillment
to leave a measure of life's learnings
buried in the sands of our understanding
to be revealed with each incoming tide
of reflection and thought
to ponder
this light of wisdom found in the darkness
like a lantern held above the head
to guide the poetic verse with enlightenment
following a trail of words never before expressed
yet, are found scattered in our eternal universe
waiting to be plucked from their layer of dark
and placed in such a manner to fulfill a poet's purpose
where expressions become layered clouds
releasing the rains of their fullness
to nourish the buried seeds of our pains and joys
so they may bloom and flourish as a poem
that touches the lives of others
so they may understand their pains and joys
