The Lines That Come Forth
The taking of the pen in hand
to write of what I see,
the lines that come forth through inward demand
remain the best expressions of me.
Never old and ever changing
are the words upon each page.
Never limitless are my options
for the world is viewed as a stage.
Of various people from all walks of life
to the seasons of unending change,
the subjects I write of from day to day
are as far as east from west in their range.
Desire and accomplishment are best expressed
each day that I find time to write.
Only when done can heart and hand rest
as the words of each poem come to light.
