To Grasp a Poets Heart
To Grasp a Poets Heart
A Walk in The Forest 2 ( hope you don’t mind Michael )
To express the inexpressible
A poet dreams
Of such
To capture by turn of word
The intrigue of
Emotive import
And spin from the vague
A captured replenishment
To grasp a poets heart
The burning lines of stone
Chiselled from reality
With blood and sweat and tears
The crystalline lines of stone
Etched from life
With joy and beauty and blood
These open moments
Resound
In their keeping of their faith
To paint so the adornments
In living voices
Of other worlds
And different eyes
To grasp a poets heart
How courageous
To stand upon the pages of your soul
Written profound
Written whimsical
Written by injustice
Written with care
Written in the outpourings
Of simply being
Human
Who then should take up your brush
And if to turn such by critiques discourse
And alter the strokes made by Rembrandt
Scratch out the rhymes of Dylan and Cohen
The beat of Marley
The photo of Cyndi
The essence of Joni
The drive of Eminem
The mark of flowering genius
Where ever they began
To grasp a poets heart
History alone will record your greatness my friends
