The empty page calls to me
Beckons me to take a look
And share the poetry
hidden on it with the world
The empty page challenges me
And mocks me for
not
Seeing the words that are already there
Waiting for me to point them
out to you
The empty page smiles at me
As i type the words hidden on the
screen
And uncover them to share with the
world
Thoughtfully
Happily
I type the words i see
In my
mind
And share them with thee
2012
The poet captures images in his mind and paints them on paper with words for you to see.
