My Voice Dances Across the Page

Does my voice look at itself in the mirror
and see eyes lost in a desert
where butterflies
welcome one drop of rain,
or eyes that dance
inside a cup full of yesterdays
I cannot get back again?

Are there words my voice hears
that capture my heart
like music
and make me learn
my own path to walk,
existing inside of the joy
I find on a blank page
where my ink whispers to talk?

Could my voice be beautiful as a picture
painted inside a quiet heart
reaching out to be heard
time and time again
as if it walks seeking peace
inside of my every single word?

My voice looks at itself in the mirror
and sees that time is precious
in these eyes daring to look back
the same,
it picks up my pen
like a long lost friend
who never forgets my name.

My voice is not lost in a desert
bound eternally
to seek out the rain
nor does it dance
inside a cup full of yesterday.
It sings across these blank pages
whispering
in the ink of my ways.

how do you do this? i mean.. is there some sort of manual you could write for people like me.? You manage to use words that correct a persons own tempo.. i wanted to read it fast and get what i could get out of it.. but somewhere in each stanza, you introduce just one or two thought provoking words/sentences that force to reader to stop.. think.. read on.. Very Well Done! -S

Whimsical and hopeful...

You do not have the tradition rhyme scheme, which always catches me offguard, like little treasures to be found within your work. Beautiful and complete. You cover it all.

My voice is at a loss for words penned so eloquent and beautiful in this piece. You are an inspiration like no other poet I know or have read in my lifetime.
