Poetry Is My Living Soul Poem by Terence George Craddock

poetry waits for me
poetry ever faithful waits for me
poetry never forsakes me
poetry never abandons me
poetry I may leave
poetry I may leave for a year or more
yet on poetic return
on soft poetic return

poetry embraces me
poetry is my life blood
poetry is my body flesh
poetry permeates every pore
poetry permeates every pore of my being
poetry permeates my living soul

poetry an essence of my existence
poetry in every thought breath waits
poetry I may never leave
poetry may never leave me
poetry is life shadow I walk
poetry is mind sing I talk
poetry may never fork
poetry may never fork off

poetry may never fork off into no writing
until the day I die
until the day no mind song
until the day no mind song sings in breath
until the day no mind song sings in thoughts
until the day no mind song sings in my living soul

poetry waits for me
poetry ever faithful waits for me
poetry never forsakes me
poetry never abandons me
poetry I may choice leave
poetry I may leave for a year or more
yet on return
on soft return

poetry embraces me
