It was a spark
that started this love

a spark
of a word
of a verse
of a song

The way it felt
rolling off of my tongue
the meaning
and the life
and the feeling of it all

The way it ebbed and flowed
with such grace
and leaped
and twirled
all over the place

a spark
of a word
of a verse
of a song

Poetry's flame
Burns lifelong
