Birth of a poem

A poem must have an effortless birth

Like a swing of a thought propelled

From the right, forwards into existence 

Like the reverberation of a swing 

Into the shoulder and maybe as deep as the trunk

That never intended more than a move 

To circle the small world

We can reach with our breath and our love.

A poem is but the mirror of our world

The very inside looking out

Trying to harmonize to yin with the yang

The love with the hate

The sound and the light

The shore and the wave

The I with the us

In the voice of a possible song.

A poem is but the force

With which we are trying to change

The presence into a luminous future

Or really it is

Whatever you want to make of it

My dear- if you would be kind

To just start and write.
