Teach To Write
How can I teach you to see
the blue of the sky in a hummingbird egg
born to fly as the color does show
or here’s the ocean waves
in your cupped ear
calling to you come away
feel the love and baby born
mother to child
father to her
the hope in the Dawn
of the new day
sorrow at dusk
all not done
can I teach you to hope and feel
to see with your heart
think without thought
words will seek you
Muses will send
teach you to hear
oh how can I
it may be found
somewhere inside
you to set free
you to find
