A Thousand Words

By Cinara

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A Thousand Words A thousand words upon a page Can never quite amaze As a simple line of poetry A lovely silken phrase A glittering field of fallen snow Can never mystify As a simple crystal snowflake That stays etched within the eye A universe of stars above Cannot evoke delight As a single candle glowing In the blackness of the night A book is like a treasure chest To open up the mind A poem settles in the soul And stays the rest of time Written February 16th, 2002 © on Feb 15 2002 10:42 PM PST   0 • 10
