Papers, Thoughts and Words

The empty page before me holds magic within its bounds I sit and hold its edges 'til my inspiration's found Shh... Quiet now and you’ll hear it so softy speak to me Guide's my mind to fill its lines but knows not what it’s to be The poet's task is simple - to repeat the paper's tale and give its thoughts some action on this course we dare to sail The subject can be the same of the many poems you'll read but each one holds some magic as it plants its thoughtful seed For two poets can hear its voice though miles apart they be and both will craft a telling each one grayed by what they see For therein lies the magic which each poet is entwined new ways to express the thoughts of blank pages that we find The poet is a partner to the paper, thought and word A poem is but their melding giving sight to things once blurred
