And So, I Write To Her

To lay one’s curiosity

to rest,

I shall write a poem

about my poetry,

so that one may be

able to understand me,

and the things I

write nonetheless.

My words are not aligned

with that of one

woman’s heart,

save for the Earth,

as she is the beacon

for my undying art.

A canvas I may paint,

with words that have

become rather faint,

and yet, it is

enough to

confess my love

for such a

magnificent place,

no longer being

an old, empty space.

Though she remains alive,

when I shall one day rot,

I will be fast asleep,

under the countless stars,

remembering how not

one day had gone by,

when she hadn’t been there.

For me, she was never,

never too far.

And so I write to her,

in hopes that one day

she may awake,

and read my words,

my collection of poetry,

so that I may breathe

yet again,

until the very

final moment,

that is, my end.

I liked the above lines. They can stand alone. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

The lady that is our Earth is going through an awfully lot of turmoil of late, possibly the best time to be writing an ode to her beauty. Finely written verse may well be her sustenance to fuel her renewal, her being made whole again.
I like pieces that ask me to think, and this piece is very thought provoking. Very nicely done, Brian. take care...dan
