I Had No Poem /I Had Nothing In Mind



I HAD NO POEM

I had no Poem
I had nothing in mind
Darkness in the world
Darkness inside.

I tried to think
I could not write
Darkness in the world
Darkness inside.

I repeated my theme
Again and again
Darkness in the world
Silence, no friend.

I try and I try
I need to write
A Poem is for me
A sign of Life.

What will be?
Will I ever know?
I write these words
Dawn so slow.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Out of the darkness came your poem. Your poem is, for me, 'a sign of life.' Very lovely and so expressive.
