I Shall Write Again

My heart is here, though my mind, it is not Unfortunately, so distant am I from this shore Still, poetry waves crest on the surface of my mind Alas, I remain too busy to write by the score Yet, I shall return to you again, once more Look not at the emptiness of thought from my page Rather, consume the potential, the words soon to see For here, despite distant, I remain steadfast to write For a poet is what I was truly meant to be As my words and thoughts were not meant just for me
