Poet's Song

There’s something in a poem that won’t leave us alone -
a wanting we must surrender to.

We look upward for hope and purpose
for that single ray to guide us.

There sit our stars we divined;
our stellar friends who bathe us in thought.

So grow those sounds once silent
that speak with their own life.

Now words written on this
thin fabric of paper

that lightens our souls, once
strings of syllables appear

in forms we never had thought.
But always knowing;

these little strings once plucked
will make this song, this poem.

This knowing we never knew…

Daver Austin January 22, 2009 at 9:37 AM I agree, like a pizzicato, sharp and penetrating might describe some hidden inspiration, something simple right out of the air. You are not easy to find, Shadow Man, but the effort was well worth it. I'll catch some more of your stuff. Love, daver
