If Only 2

i always wished i could write as quickly as i think

If only I could write
With swift and precise hands
That float on the page
As each word is revealed
From profound images
That stream through my mind

If only I could write
With skilled and eloquent hands
That phrase which embodies truth
As purity and humility arise
From my soul
That flows through my heart

If only I could write
With words not yet discovered
That create a new understanding
As all souls connect to each other
From everywhere
That allows us to live as souls

Reading this poem and it's predecessor I feel what I haven't felt for a long while: humble. These few lines coalesce the frustration and the yearning to be understood, to be welcomed as valuable, but not merely at FACE value that ALL poets feel to some degree. Well, said, Greg!

All I can say about this was that it was breathtaking...

Awesome work! This is how I feel every time I put ink on paper.

I can completely relate to this piece. My mind works much faster than my hands!
This is wonderfully written, it seems your mind was working in time with your hands for this piece :)
