A Humble Truth

When we laugh,

thats poetry, and

when I get that feeling,

an emotion I cannot quite

reciprocate, Oh, that

is sweet, raw artistry.

Isn’t this beautiful,

You’re falling into place

right next to me.

Non-Material,

above picturesque!

An emotion so robust, yet humble;

Seen in a frame on a wall, or in sand

along the shore, or in my notebook

from which pages have been torn;

my God, that is where poetry is born.

Our fears are poetry,

our peers, the influence.

An Empirical, transcendental

accumulation and a work in progress.

Something a lens only tries to uphold,

but cannot truly experience;

that is poetry.

It breathes along in time.
