Third Place

this, a story in verse I was born destined to be a poet so I just went with the flow of it is to be the direction beyond my control and I accepted it there were times I looked into voids but writing was my necessity I just let go to the fact of it is to be was powerless to stop it became like breathing to me everywhere I look is a poem in bird songs, the forest, the streams in beautiful moments of it is to be I have accepted this challenge God has blessed me with and should my poetry linger beyond my death well, that is the question of it is to be I have no expectations beyond writing my next poem
