This Poet...



This Poet is a poor man 
A homeless carefree bird 
He tries as much as he can 
But he only has his word 
  
In silence weaves his vivid verse 
He rhymes and chimes with rain 
Whether they be long or terse 
He pens his joy and pain 
  
This poet is a fearless man
Save his creator, fears none 
Believes himself, rather than 
On providence to get things done 
  
They laugh at him and do call him 
An idealist lost in time 
Fancy’s child of endless whim 
Nature dances to his rhyme 
  
This poet is a vagabond 
His home is with the trees 
At natures bosom and far beyond 
He sits to pen at ease 
  
He stays awake on starry nights 
To gaze at the endless sky 
He drifts along the celestial lights 
Inspiration for the inward eye 
  
This poet speaks nothing but 
The truth and simple things 
He flies away from the daily rut 
On his colorful poetic wings
