its wick will absorb oil within Bringing fire into the soul Lighting the eyes to see While it warms the heart and soul Night will become day with light Casting upon the parchment As ink will flow through the night Rhymes will seem effortless While verses are unexpected A poem written so all can see Posted among many in this decree These matchless words not known Only to the one who wrote them Sending messages of hope Teasing the mind with scope Write not into dark but into light Showing to all so they will see What poetry means to thee
