Within the Glistening

I have been wounded

& warped

by words falling errant

upon the page,

yet, healed by quiet murmurs,

the gentle rustle

of hands reaching out for me

in silence.

I have danced

beyond dawn's coming gleam,

unable to lay down my pen

& sleep,

taut with fiery imagination.

I have wished for moment's return

when I couldn't clarify my clouded emotions

& regretted the steel trap's closing

when I lashed out in anger.

I have whispered tender endearments

under moonlight's caress

 

& wept beyond reparation

when the world seemed too far away

to hold me.

I have been a Poet

every instant of my life,

even when language fails...
