ARTISAN OF WORDS
I am an artisan of words
Which I sculpt, chisel and fashion the way I can;
I am a creator of worlds;
I pour my emotion into the poems I write.
I breathe life into them, blow them skywards
And finish them only when they sound right.
These remnants of thought without reason
Will remain on pages season after season
Long after I'm gone; when my task is done
The love, the longing, the pain
Will be evoked then by somebody else
Who in turn will remember and write again
To create another slow soft song
That people can read and draw into their hearts
Then pillowed by words, cushioned by dreams
My poems will ride high the moonbeams.

Blazing Suns Once Blackened Me: Poem

Blazing Suns Once Blackened Me
Blazing suns once blackened me
My soul was light
I watched the moon dancing
With the clouds at night
Cold winter wind bleached me
That was my misery
My soul became dark
A sad lonely destiny
I whispered and moaned
My life seemed thus sealed
My mind fled thither
Into wounds never healed
