Poetry - a Simple Thing

It is a simple thing
   wanting to be known for my poetry,
   but in all honesty,
what I really hope for 
   - is-   to reach your heart
   and touch your soul.
If I should bring back a memory or two
  to dance the waltz and tango in your mind,
  or an emotion or feeling or personification
that might rekindle something in your heart;
  or better still -
  draw a vision that enlightens you
and makes you seek out
 the very One who created all -
 I have achieved my goal.

It is a simple thing,
  a desire deep within me
  cultivated to remind us both
of your potential as well as my own,
  of your importance and significance
  helping you tap your inner self;
the very heart and knowledge of God
  recognizing that that heart and soul is alive
  and lives within each of us
to safely guide us
  to know ourselves and share all we are
  directing us on our journey home.
My poetry is then worthwhile
  written on the winds of every mind
  unrestrained and easily portrayed
on the heart and soul of time.
