Hello Rod

a poet turned
a page to read
and found therein
his heart in bleed
enchanted, inspired,
he closed the door
on the yesterdays that
had gone before

he took new insight
from your pain
found what was lost
could be gained
if not in body
of the lost
then in the new
hang the cost

you gave him drive,
to fill the hole
to walk the shores
to seek his shoal
he felt if he could only be
a writer of great poetry
to emulate in way of word
all he read, what he heard

but when he saw the
master of the pen
when he picked your books
to learn from, then
in way of write
he formed his style
placed in it form,
and sweet beguile

but never does he
not share you
for in his write
you come through
with poetic majesty
as other poets in his see
he still walks ‘pon the shore
looking for his evermore

as in his write,
he still finds
the sun’s shimmer
in his mind
the gulls still sing
the rose still twines
and words will bring
one heart to shine

so he pens
his night away
then calmly faces
each new day
a poet in heart,
in line, in verse
as each day begins
with new rehearse

then he settles
comfortably
in his mind
as what will be
for it shall come,
he knows it when
he picks up pen,
and writes, again
