The Poet’s Pen
The poet's pen with plea in heart
From which words have their start
A tree, a blossom, a water's flow
These the gifts of grace the poet does know
The music, the wind, a songbird heard
The poet so touched and offers a word
The spirits of song, of dance, of music, of art
From the poet's pen ne'er shall they depart
Heart’s joy and love ever in praise
This the expressed delight of the poet’s days
The muse of all to entreat soul's pleasure
Words of musing, be the poet's treasure.
