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!

Good poem but thrown a little by the last line... hearts of swell or hearts that swell
