O! I Need Verse, I Need Song Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

O! I Need Verse, I Need Song



O! I need verse, I need song
To warm from the frost and the chill
That I came from:
Outside
Outside
Ah! The heart warms inside, but
More in the thrall and ecstasy
Of word sculpted on other word
Michelangelo-like but not in marble:
And then
The fragments gathered like a broken china
Gathered, and gathered with love
And dedication new
A song, a poem, and a joy new constitute.
