I love how all these feelings converge
whenever the poetry decides to emerge
rising up from within the thick ink
revealing itself in merely a blink
Saying all that it has to then say
in a most silky, poetic way
as if meant to now shepherd
me while each word is heard
Taking me to way back when
when life was lived with the pen
when the poet felt respect
long before this age of neglect
As I find another reason to smile
recall every single smooth mile
that led me to this mythical place
with an inspiration to again trace
Finally mating pen with paper
as I pursue another poetic caper
on the trail of these crafty lines
revealing such devilish designs
this is exactly why I created starsrite in the first place… hopefully an inspiration to others
Thanks Sam…
enchanting
Thanks so much…
Love how you evoke the nostalgia for the respect society once had for poets and the magic of pen upon paper. Your gift shines here, my friend.
