Poet's Journey Poem by Bethany Maxwell

Starts so young...

Fast at first,
Then, slower, next.

Leads the way
For the rest.

Folow me,
Closer still.

Pen in hand,
Stable, set,

Read to,
Begin its quest...

Mark it once,
Twice then thrice.

Words of hope,
Desperate cries,

Spoken words,
That meet your eyes,

Shining light,
Where once was dark.

Dreaming mind,
Meets the day,

Imagined worlds,
Brought to life,

Etched in time,
On paper stone...

What once was not...
Is here to stay.
