The Words Of A Poet Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

dedicated to
Anne Horvath

Within the hollow of the heart beats
a poem with a flowing, caring rhythm
It cascades with words to be received
into the hearts of others... creating a prism

The rainbow that is inspired has many
shades and tints… at times the colors glow
At times they sleep and appear in dreams...
sincere, heartfelt words that speak and flow

Often words of a new born poem barely trickle
Sometimes they are tied to emotions that overflow
Pain and joy are catalysts…they vulcanize thoughts
Each whisper and shout is born from the soul

It is the essence a poet that conveys and connects
creating unity with those who read and listen
After the heart of the poet tires and cease to beat
the rhythm of their words continues to glisten
