Would I Write
Would I write, were I on an island
with only self to read, and perhaps
applaud? Yes. Then, do I write for
self alone? No. There is always hope
another would visit, thus poetry
could I share – if not another mortal...
then a stray angel passing, maybe
one stopping long enough to show
timely care – Who knows?--to be
presumptuous, thinking God on High,
Himself, anything not entirely about Him
yet would want to hear – something not
motivated by damnation and fear –
I guess then, to be heard, I must
limit my subjects to those of Divine
Light and love...though I have
never met a true poet, who was
not always somewhere just outside
here while slightly shy of anywhere
so loftily above –
