The Written Heart.A Poem by Duncan BrownThe heart is written on the page Unavoidable in the empty space Occupied by that tender rage Unfolding in the patterned lace Weaving words beyond their age Each soul of scribing innocence Traverses the lettered landscape Seeking that treasured sentence And a beautifully poetic escape In the darkened light of experience More in joy filled fields we furrow An’ less in borrowed crying pity Memory, the heartache of tomorrow Reminds us of the mortal humility Hidden inside our treasured sorrow Struggling for another sacred word That takes us somewhere different Untouched unseen and unheard Even blessed as the fragrant scent Drifting in the untraversed firmament History is the shadow written presently And oft’ times an enlightened tragedy Lurking like a lark in lyrical symmetry Weaving the future’s heavenly story So beautifully funny a divine comedy. © 2018 Duncan Brown |
