The Poems I Never Wrote

From the heart, words pour out
Silent thoughts – prayers – memories
Endless doubts and insecurities
Blessings loud and sorrows in clouds
Melancholic verbs, imaginations
Heard by the voice of thunder, the light
Raining down in sighs, miserable cries

From the soul, words I do not know
Whispers of hope – laughter – wonder
Dreams within my deepest ponderings
Muse alive, a fire – desire – hunger
Burning away the hurt, the darkness, worry
Smothering out the doubt, so loud

From the spirit, words read by moving lips
Students of yearning, graceful with their harmony
Glowing in hues of radiant animation, kindness
Flowing from their answers, their stanzas
About life, love, freedom and the fanciful lives
Those who know it is love that decides –
Just which poem is inscribed by the starlight

Lovely poem , Gina. I especially loved "from the soul, words I do not know." It does seem some words materialize from deep within our soul. Congratulations on your high placement!
