If I Were to Write a Poem
If I were to write a poem A poem about hardship and long-awaited freedom The words would fall short Of the pure path of the dove If I were to write a poem A poem about the the glory of peace and the serenity of faith The words would fall short Of the innocent clouds of heaven If I were to write a poem A poem about falling hopelessly, completely, and deeply in love The words would fall short Of cupids sailing arrow If I were to write a poem A poem about writing a poem The words would fall short Of the beauty and relief that writing brings Because even when the words are present The feeling is not Poetry is dry And I, I am just a leaf blowing across this barren desert Written January 29th, 2002 © on Jan 29 2002 08:51 AM PST 18 • 0 • 10
