I Am a Poet
I am a poet
I let the rhythm flow
I let the beating of my heart
tell the story of my soul
I capture life at its essence
paint its picture with words
caress the cortex of your brain
with the lines of each verse
yes I am a poet
just doing my best
to share this God given gift
cause I know that I must
follow the dream
that I dream
be the me
I am supposed to be
for I am a poet
I live ~ I breathe
poetry
every thought from the heart
ends up poetic prose
why I even speak in rhyme
without conscious thought of why
cause
I am a poet
