Music in My
Soul
Poetry is a graceful
motion
Flowing fluid as a
song
Words turbulent as a storm
Or inspiring as the
dawn.
It is a private
impression
Of a mental image drawn
Shining for the
moment
And captured before it's
gone.
Poetry is a powerful
force
Held together by words
Too loud to be silent
Crying out to be
heard.
Under a shawl of
solitude
Poets with pen in hand
Compose lines late at
night
Hoping someone will
understand.
Your favor I do not seek
The reason is only mine
From the fruit of my
spirit
Created by my own
design.
Your love I do not plead
It simply says I am
For poets are
beyond a love
Anyone would understand.
It can be a sorrowful
tune
Others may have
sung.
Yet it can please and
delight
Both the old and the
young.
Poetry is a message from
The whirlpools in life's
streams
Needing to calm the
mind
Of experiences
and dreams.
