Poetry is a lifelong friend, a lover
with whom one need never part,
eternal carousel in youth's heart
Poetry is Mother Earth's emotions;
in night sky, whispered devotions
of the stars.
Growth from stagnation,
brow wrinkles, pencil erasings,
tracings of leaf shapes,
delicious secrets
Ever spinning wheel of seasons,
the water cycle, every reason
and no justification whatsoever.
Poetry is heat,
cold humidity;
childhood,
age old wisdom
Phosphorescent glow;
simultaneously primal and refined,
the weightiest and lightest substance,
continuum of discovery for humankind
Limitless love,
limitless love,
limitless love.
