Quiet Poet

 

When I was a child,

a boy walking outdoors,

the meanings were faint,

but my eyes were large.


Then, as a young adult,

a man walking outdoors,

with focused awareness

and explicit intentions.


Now, an older man with a gentle spirit,

collecting images, gathering words,

sorting meaning into lines,

pursuing truth and beauty.



Working to fill the page.

Seeking fulfillment.

Giving gratitude. Sharing.

Revealing the heart of a quiet poet.
