I Wish I'D Written It Down

I had an idea to write a poem
But I never got around
To putting pen to paper
To give the poem its ground

Told of my hidden feelings
And where it is they start
Spoke of dreams and visions
As I opened up my heart

I took hold of the moment
Expanded it with time
Let the deepest feelings that I have
Escape my inner mind

I had verses on the stars
Stanzas of the moon
All it was that I'd thought of
Spoken out in the truth

It had the beauty of serenity
The joy of peace to be its guide
Spoke of love shared by all of us
Giving new meaning to life

It took all of life's heartaches
And turned the hurt around
The only problem with all this is
I failed to write it down

Jan Allison July 15, 2016 at 7:45 AM I think we have all had brilliant lines spring into our mind and fail to write it down and then they have vanished completely - now I always have a pencil and paper with me but await some brilliant lines to come to me lol:-) hugs Jan xx Mike Hauser July 15, 2016 at 8:14 AM I ALWAYS have pen and paper
