the poet’s pen

o write a verse poet,
to kinder the soul,
to soothe it so,
until we can feel
every verse put to paper,
then from each stroke of your pen,
tells us what’s on your mind
taking us to worlds unknown
to lands unconquered
to places undiscovered.
tell us what’s on your mind
o great one,
tell us so that we may know
coming directly from
the poet’s pen....
