From A Poet's Heart

                                   
                                        I have felt the thrill of passion in the poet's rhyme
                                        and experienced the feelings of emotions intertwined

                                        I have flown on the wings of an eagle's flight
                                        and stood in darkness when the sun was shining bright

                                       I have crossed oceans and learned how to sail
                                       with the wind's mighty force of a powerful gale

                                       I have faced battles and learned how to fight
                                       but when I looked around it was there in plain sight

                                       I have heard the small voice in my mind's ear
                                       and rose to the challenge with an eager cheer

                                       I have waited patiently for the beckon call
                                       and with pen in hand tried to capture it all

                                       I have traveled far and back again
                                       held on to journey from which I had been

                                       The creation of poetry can be a powerful blend
                                        to a poet's heart a calm peace it does send

                                       So I'll leave it to the reader to capture the warm flame
                                       with the thrill of the moment they'll never be the same

    Writing is a beautiful process, isn't it? I love how you connect it to the reader at the end, words do have the power to change us, definitely.

    Very nice poem, Susie. Writing really does come out of us intertwined with our emotions. That's what makes it good writing, I think. Have a nice weekend! :-)

    That is why we write. We capture the present and the past and put it to paper for all to see and remember.
