Why, I Ask, Humbly Of Me? |

Why? Why, when I read my own thoughts, those from so deep within the bowel, the soul, do I cry? Tears have fallen as the rains of life. Tears have stained the cloth and skin of me...Tears continue to cleanse and purge...to bring forth the life of who I am... And share... Why, I ask? Why would a man sit for decades, silent to the world in speech of heart? Silent to his own self in confiding of that which hurt, or brought to the face a tender smile, a twinkle of eye that would show in reflect the warmth, warmth wanting to come forth into the night of write... As the candle dims, as the wick shortens, the quill and pen remain ever sturdy. A hand fills the well with fresh ink and... a poet, a man....reborn... Lives..... |
