The Surging Forth of a Poets Pen

It is as deep 
    as an ocean is wide
  As powerful 
    as the evening tide
  The words surge forth
    and ebb again
  The poets heart
     flows through a pen

Thank you so much. I feel it deeply. Sometimes I wonder if there will never be another word, and then comes the tide!
