The Charms Of The Word My Heart Smite

Time in dry seasons seems loose
And heavy are the steps to wherever they tread
Such is the soul when gloom trying to shed
Retaining of beauty that I fear to lose.
*****
I hold my pain and just want to write
Caught by my pen versing in rhyme
The charms of the word my heart smite
And the world around melts out of time.
*****
The thoughts in my head cease not to mime
Striving to seek peace and quietude
My feelings how they aspire to feed my clime
Unwilling to drip despair or to agony allude.
*****
The words on papers change their mind
Like the flow of a great river
Each stream a treasure one of a kind
Swallows your fears while makes you shiver.
*****
Life does weave its complex tapestry
Be denied joy and sadness a complete travesty.
