Woke With Poems Woken Gem Cut Diamonds Poem by Terence George Craddock

woke with poems this morning
the unique perspective which is
the craft won gem cut diamond

but the scribe is only dream writing
in poetic mind journey of leave taking
began a few cooler Autumn weeks ago

time to say goodbye to writing
for the chill Winter a season
perhaps for a decade or eternity

the words
are always
with us

even when a written record
is stilled and no longer gift written
poets writers live in words

time allowed
so little
to be written

but soon in quiet reflection
I will write volumes filling
no space for that which is not

written shared leaves
no trace like settled ripples
upon water never was
