Once
Once upon a time I wrote poetry
To fill the emptiness that did reside
Once I learn to say how I felt
Long after the tears had mostly dried
Once I marveled at what I could write down
I even marveled at the rthym of the sound
But now the words falter , stumble at the gate
They no longer please me , I take it as my fate
Their purpose has somehow been denied
And to continue on a fruitless path would be living in a lie
So I take stock and close the book and put away my pen
For I will not be found in grace on page written in poem again
Once I was lost but now I'm found
