The Mercy of a Poem
The sudden outpouring of an emotion deep
enraptured in words that express your thought.
Delving into the experiences that have made one weep
getting them on paper as events that are caught.
Gestalt approach to attaining sleep,
to tear at a heart that is already wrought.
It is the mercy of the poem that soothes the soul
encrusted deep in unborn rhyme and rhythm
a tender moment waiting to unfold
and to the listening eye is given.
Oh what outpouring of desperation told
from the poet heart whose inner self is driven.
