Life is all about leverage
both overt and implied
To move the world ever forward
and sail the highest tide
Subtle it nudges intention
exerted our missteps reclaimed
It magnifies every action
— restoking fortuity’s flame
********
Freeing The Verse
To have a poem
but not the words
To bring the message
home
Intention firm
and feelings clear
But silence
sits the throne
Awaiting vowels and consonants
regifted from a sage
A marble block of verbiage
to sculpt upon the page
And once each phrase has taken form
it’s wed to feelings true
To free the verse that faithful waits
— unheard inside of you
