I sit at this computer
Staring at the hollow monitor in front of me
As it reflects my inner self
I yearn for the spirit of Walt Whitman to possess me
So that I might experience the joy that he received with life
O Wise One
Please tell me how tulips smelled to you
What pleasures does morning rain bring?
How wise are the willow trees?
Explain the language of crickets please
Compose a verse or two in the bluebird style
Trade eyes with me so that I might see the sunlight through your unique vison
I dream of us together, skipping across stones that bridge streams of endless beauty.
Envious am I of your ability to see thru the darkness and appreciate the radiance of nature.
Distraught am I that I only see black coals burnt out in a once searing inferno.
O Greybeard, I implore you
Paint some sunshine on the dark canvas that is my heart.

I liked this piece...very nicely worded. And if I knew who you were talking about, I'm sure I'd enjoy it even more! So...#^_^#...who is this person??? heh heh...what can I say? I'm a geek!

If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work:  "Hello.  Can't work today, still queer." (If only...>; P)

Thanks for the nice comments.  I wrote this poem because I envy poet Walt Whitman's ability to see the beauty in all things.  This man believed that basically everything was beautiful and I wish I could be like that.
