A Poet’s voice is…
mountain moving thunder
when their world is threatened

A Poet’s heart is…
submissively tempered
beating love under any pressure

A Poet’s pen
can lift the world
higher and brighter
in different hues and views
of the changing skies

A Poet can fly!

Waking up, Wondering what the day will bring.
Waking up, Wondering what others will think.
                      Wondering what my mind will think.

Losing it, Losing all sense of reality.
Memories fade, The pain is still buried deep.
Coming apart, The mask has been re-released.
Thoughts still haunt my lack of sleep.

Waking up, Wondering what is reality.
Waking up, Wondering what I did to deserve this blithe.
Waking up, Waking to a reality with her.
In the end, It will all fit together.
It's funny, How things always come full circle.
In the end, It will all fit together.
