The Lonely Poet . . . in a World of Books . . .




                                         The Lonely Poet

The breeze that lifts my autumn leaf
That bends this silent flower stem
Tears from my midst the finished page
That cannot see what it shall be
But joined with life’s own rifling wind
Will write within the heart it rends

In a World Books

From a lighted centre a beam goes forth:
A line in amethyst shooting depths of sight;   
Through a world of books it travels,
Finding stories in the river of life --- 
Thought open: the light beyond fills it
And a flow of angel’s tears are in me, pearled --- 
Falling softly in streams of insight burning bright
