What Poetry Means To Me

Poetry is a mark that slowly fades; Marks which turn pages from yesterday's shades. Poetry finds the expression of a lasting imprint; Ever the Davidic songs share a shimmering glint. The age of fruit of a pen does tell a maid. Behind the ink comes a flint. Without charades. Words like these are privileged sent. And words find wells From the ink to the hearts of swell.

I love the line "Poetry finds the expression of a lasting imprint", also the reference to Davidic songs, as I do love the Psalms. Thank you for the encouragement, Christy!
