POETRY and MAGIC
Does it scan?
Does it flow?
Does it set your heart aglow?
Do the lyrics
Lift your spirits
From the depths?
Sometimes it doesn’t
And sometimes it can
But it
Really
Doesn’t
Need to
Rhyme
Anyway.
Build the words
Like a trail –
Circumnavigating planets
And reach out for those moments of pure glory,
When the well of words is full –
Overflowing –
Like a dam;
For sometimes you need walls
And
Sometimes,
Yachts.
All flow –
All build –
All praise the rhythm of life
As it tumbles from my pen
To touch the magic…
