I lie before the alter
and await your words
to soothe my wounds
or pierce my heart

You my not speak Legion
You may hold tongue upon me
so i must stand up and shout
i stand by my words

I lie before the alter
and await your words
to soothe my wounds
or pierce my heart

I have a voice
I become as i wish
I pass the time
with such speach

Still i lie before the alter
and await your words
my legion my one
my friend unheard

I went to the desert on a horse with no name, it felt good to get out of the rain.

it took many years to do it, yet 600 is a good number

even if I have already composed over 600 poems so far this year

encouragement is the true beauty of each word, just keep writing and live the dream



a poet who cares

I remember 600....seems so long ago, but
well worth it and many enjoyable words have
been composed and read since that time...

Congratulations!

Yes you certainly do have a voice and 600 posts prove it! Good job.
