No breeze can hold it
this gift, this life.
unbridled imagination.
a stringless kite.

A black ink well.
this poets curse.
with dripping pen.
I spill my verse.

Thoughts poured out
in measured concentration.
one shot burden
one shot elation

With sentences structured
and words assembled.
I stumble over lines
that you resemble.
