More Than Words - a Poet's Worth
I write a poem tonight and I wonder
what is the value of my words?
Who decides their significance
if not I?
I cherish my poetic soul.
When I’m not writing, I feel less than
whole I borrow words to fill
an unfillable hole.
More often than not I question
my poetic worth.
Still I write and feel less alone.
In this fast-paced cyber world it seems to me
few slow down to breathe in
God, life, emotions, creation’s
infinite colors –
dark and light the beauty and ugliness of it all words.
So, I wrote a poem tonight more than words for an audience of one.
If one becomes two, then four then more –
I am grateful to share my love a piece of my soul
but I am at peace with an audience of one.
