"Fool," said my Muse to me; "look in thy heart and write."
Quote by_ Sir Philip Sidney,
English Poet, 1554-1586
Within my soul burns an eternal light,
it never dies but at times it may dim;
my life like a movie in black and white.
I conceive in quiet words to write,
comtemplating long before I begin;
within my soul burns an eternal light.
At times my thoughts turn to stone then take flight,
subdued, I find my inner light within;
my life like a movie in black and white.
True, that with my poems sometimes I fight,
inspired by notes of a staid violin;
within my soul burns an eternal light.
I am conscious that my life flame burns bright,
in prayer I thank God - for it is him;
my life like a movie in black and white.
When I am done, I ask, "you like it right ?"
for using this flame to pen is no whim;
within my soul burns an eternal light,
my life like a movie in black and white.
