within the whisper
of yesterday and now
of anticipation
of a dream
words are imbedded
deeply carved
in the heart of a poet
the words become his children
to lavish praise
and teach them where to go
and grow
the poet challenges
the words
as if they were colors of his heart
and soul
bequeathing to them
the spirit of interlocking freedom
he has done his best
and that makes him smile
