Paper Cuts

Paper cuts

Delving in deep
affluent mind of floating words 
Finding them in a jumbled heap
Deeply the waters of my heart stirs
Fumbling feet are my pen that slurrs

Suddenly finding my footing
An island in a creative mind
All new, and oh so soothing
A lost treasure I find

A nutshell of a thought
Seems like naught but meager
I plant it, the nutshell my mind brought
And found my art, and now I grow eager

Blossoming out of the ground
In a nutshell that I found 
I fell the tree for hazelnuts
Instead I put words on thin sliced paper cuts

I love how you have become one with the paper. The word poet does not do you justice, my friend.
