A FORM OF CONSTRUCTION

Poems are not alive
Until they are written

There can be no rushing
Nothing can be forced

Sometimes they trickle
Like water over rocks

I imagine that sound
Peaceful, almost tranquil

A signature of rhythm
Captured on paper

An artist might paint it
The picture is vivid

I feel its life
And jot my words

Amazed with the process
Powers that occur

But do not question
Accept the gift

Little paper boats
That are kept adrift

Then captured down stream
Before they can move

Out to the sea and
Lost for eternity
