A poets heart,
Is a very deep well
It holds many secrets,
Some we never tell

We speak in rhymes,
Or metaphors
We write of hope for the future,
Or sadness gone before

We are guilty,
Of feeling things too deep
And pondering secrets,
Life its self has to keep

Poets see things clearly,
That others cannot
We wonder about questions,
Which time, has forgot

A poets heart,
Beats at a different pace
A poets pen,
Defies time and space

We poets,
Create our own written place
We poets,
Are together, our own race

As poets,
We stand apart
And live in the deep well,
Of our poetic hearts
Oh, how she moves her legs as I swing this pen,
how she tip-toes across the floor as I jot down my thoughts,
how she whirls as I spin webs of words,
how she leaps and bounds as I turn the pages,
how she flies as I write countless sentences,
how she smiles and bows as my ink runs out.
Oh, how beautiful a dance of words can be.

I had been wandering for so long
Eventually it became apparent
I would never settle down and grow old
My heart was forever young
I was stuck in a perpetual state of adventure

I had become so used to moving
That sitting too long made me restless
I was on a constant quest
To see what was over the horizon

My thirst for knowledge and experience
Seemed unquenchable

In my times and travels
I have met many
I have seen much
I have broadened my perspective
I have learned to love
And to push hate away

I know that life is short
But it's never too short to explore
To learn more
Of the world and yourself
rainless morning, awoken by comforting delicate taps on my window
velvet curtains lifted and fragile opalescent feathers revealed
the hummingbird sings songs for you
and my heart flutters in time with the tune
thanks for reading ❤
