Thus,The Poem I Bring

O, my heart is so full 
and I just want to write.
I want to give expression 
to such beautiful sights.

O, I need not be looking
at just any one thing.
My minds always cooking, 
thus, the poem I bring.


O, the things I have seen,
such as these be the sights.
To things unseen I lean
and the Spirit gives light.

It matters not to me
which it is that I write.
The reader always sees
expression at it’s height.

Ace, Your words in this poem are so right. I think a poem is much like a painting. The artist pours out his/her feelings on the canvas like the poet pours out his/her feelings on the page. Then, viewers and readers partake, feel, think, and see the expression from his/her own perspective. And are hopefully enlightened and inspired by the work. Very insightful poem. Lovingly, Dane Ann
