Poet's Gift Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

Poet within landscape of the mind in solitude
Dwells composing with language of the soul
Muse inspired poems spilling from the heart.
Tapestry of life, questioning how, why, when,
Death's shadow following close on life's journey.
Love, happiness, joy, adventures, grief and sorrow,
Searching for truth to survive purple storms
Taking the blows while turning the other cheek.
Looking at stars and seeing God's majesty
Creating images within the mind touching souls
Memories, sweet some sour of lovers not forgot
Time and space no barrier for questing mind,
Anguish and loss allowing pain endured
Word pictures the poet's gift for mankind.
