Ivor Davies Poet Rhyme

Mind's Eye

I saw a poet walking
when out the other day
and I never even heard a word 
that he had got to say.
It showed in every move he made
it shone out from his heart
there's something in a poet's way
that sets them all apart.

When looking at all people
don't be fooled by rags or clothes
or even by the wrinkles
or the way they hold their nose.
But try a little trick of mine
and look into their mind
even with your eyes shut
you're amazed by what you find.

The sense of smell,
and sight, and touch
are not your only tools,
there's a simple link 
between our minds
that people seldom use.

But this completes your senses
and helps you on your way,
so take a 'look' around with this
when walking out today.

Ivor G Davies

Judy Konos December 8, 2015 at 5:52 AM very true...and applies to everyone...never___a book by its cover...eh? Ivor Davies December 10, 2015 at 5:23 PM Yes, never a book by its cover alone, and often just never a book by its cover. But I feel that there is more to this almost an ethereal sense that links minds both for the good and the bad and this works with all our physical senses to paint the picture....
