A sayer of Joyous "yes".

A sayer of Joyous "yes".

A Poem by Mark Hurlin Shelton

By birth or by thought or by bitten experience


My mind is my own , I wander apart


from that happy herd of settled lives


This person a puzzle a poet a stranger



I have prayed it were otherwise


I have aspired for truth beauty beyond


The fetters of my limitation


But strangely in these confines


i find an inner freedom an emerging joy.



For me let it be my place to be a sayer of joyous yes


In awe to to dance my love through the spring and summer


To carry this warmth into the dead of winter


To cry out to the earth with a grateful song
