Joshua Vick Poet Free verse

The Gift of Words

I write about what people feel
Who have no words to say
I tell the story in simple words
To help them understand
What is the point of writing 
If no one understands
The thoughts that come
Straight from the heart 
To calm the soul of  man

These words I put in simple form
Are not to boast or brag
But shine a light on a darkened day
Renewing the hope you have
I thank my lucky stars above
For the gift of words and rhyme
Truly this is the easier way
Even I can understand

Destiny Budd April 8, 2010 at 2:24 PM I love the way you put this. I always think simple is the way to go, wrote a poem on it too, but I realized that sometimes there's beauty in complication. Nice write anyways.
