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…
