Scarlett Sepulvado Anderson Poet Free verse

To the Wood

Now pour on to the wood
The things before never could
Get it down so as not to forget
All the objects that got soaking wet
Wipe away the rust and make it shine
For it is there underneath it is it's prime
Dig deeper and deeper until they are found
The toughts that were so tightly bound
No shame for the help so desperately sought
Happiness instead that He has brought
And through these eyes once again I see
Because the veil from within has been lifted from me
And sleep will become no easy task
For solitude is no longer the forsaken mask
That you and I wear for one another
With purpose this will no longer be a bother
This I cannot help but share
It is within us all the capacity to care
Now pour on...to the wood
The things before never could

Debbie Guzzi January 13, 2010 at 7:29 PM "The toughts/thoughts that were so tightly bound"...it seems profound...yet...I am embaressed to say I am not sure what "the wood" is if it is a pencil? it is not clear? perhaps a bit more "spit polish" on the verse? Light & Love Poetess!

Carolyn Devonshire January 13, 2010 at 10:30 AM You really inspire writers to pursue their goals in this poem, Scarlett. Some folks find writing easy; words just flow to them. Others (and I'm among them) often have to "dig deeper and deeper" until the right words are found. Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn
