Never a Part Time Poet Am I
Inditing* love notes out from the depths of heart
Earnest poet spends much time right from the start.
Asserting truths passionately along wisdom’s perspective
Poignant poet embarks toward thinking sessions, being reflective.
Musing with service-kindness along its myriad engagements
Enamored poet zealously indulges in precious moments.
Pondering about misery, pain, distress-pressure
Aggrieved poet craves for more hours to relate lessons to treasure.
Cogitating midst bliss of healthy relationship’s goodness
Amiable poet seeks great seconds instilling partnership-fullness.
Appreciating the Sovereign Creator upon praise gratitude's height
Blessed poet wastes not minutes declaring faith-fortitude's delight.
Whatever is the theme, in and out of season…
True poet can never be “part time” by virtue of poetic reason.
*Psalm 45:1 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
