Time to write a poem
Time to write a poem.
Time to sit here and think about things.
To reflect, / to feel, / to wonder, / to sort out.
At first there is the waiting,
the waiting for inspiration to come.
Where it comes from, I do not know?
Where it goes to, I will find out?
I will wonder about 'you,'
I will wonder about 'me.'
But most of all,
I will wonder about 'us.'
Sometimes I will write simply,
sometimes it will be complex,
but always the meaning will attempt to flow
from one thought to the next.
And when it is done,
(when I feel better or worst,)
I will read it over and over again as if
rehearsing my own new found reality.
Time to sit and wonder about the world.
Time to write a poem.
Time to change the world that I live in.
Time to write a poem.
