TWELVE POEMS

Of unifying thought.

I wish for a portfolio

Of things I have been taught.

 

I get up every morning,

Then bible at my side

I sit with soul wide open

To catch what air would hide.

 

Resonance of frequencies

Not easy to translate

Betray invisible forces

Exerted to change my fate.

 

I’m called to illustration,

Describing what I sense,

Exposure of these mysteries.

Truth is the best defence.

 

I skip around from theme to theme

Recording all I hear,

Seeking through cross reference

For patterns to appear.

 

Whilst preserving the entirety

Of sense I have discerned,

I am required to summarize

To present what I have learned.

 

Through poetry I sow my seed

But don’t have to declare it.

Side stepping doctrinal criticism,

By the way I choose to share it.

 

Twelve is a number that’s complete.

That’s what I’m aiming for.

I’ll push ’til the assignments done

And then I’ll write twelve more!
