The Poem In Our Soul

There is within each one of us
a piece of poetry.
For some it's words, for others song,
but look for it—you'll see.

For each of us there is a rhythm
gently keeping time,
that bends and shapes our views of life
and touches us with rhyme.

The poems are unique and new
and ageless in their forms—
a searching, haunting melody,
a flood of words like storms.

Within the jangled, jumbled lives
we lead from day to day,
we lose our simple poet selves,
and stumble on our way.

We must learn to take the time
to listen and to know—
the one truth we must follow is
the poem in our soul.
