A distant connection

He creeps along

imagination

 

         silently

 

and prays for change

 

without want

but a desire

 

to be caught in a poet’s moment

of vulnerable

 

and leave behind

a small fragment of soul

 

that hangs

                     in the curl of his ink

    i like the expression of leaving the ''fragment of soul'', oh, oh and ''caught in a poet's moment''...the whole tone of this, i suppose i would call it pensive, just seems to fit. you rock, Becks

    when I was reading his work... one of the words I jotted down was 'vulnerable' I am so glad to see it made its way into this poem He does show us such a vulnerable side in his poetry.

    This is a wonderful tribute, becky.
