PEACE OF MIND
 

Carry me out the ocean, where my drifting
thoughts flow free.
Guide them to a far distant land, that only
the mind can see.
There I shall paint a great portrait, of what
this world should be.
A place without senseless wars, and human
poverty.

INSIDE OF THEE
 

I kneel down before the shallow waters, to reveal
my own reflection.
Just a mere window of the soul, is all that my eye's
can be detecting.
For what all that I consume, is not all that their is.
We must look beneath the visual shell, for that is
where we live.
Reach deep my friend and you shall find, much
more than you conceive.
For who or what we may become, exist inside of
thee.

THE POET
 

Words flow onto paper like rain, forming
giant rivers of unseen lands.
The very force guides us along a journey
that holds of great adventure.
We are the explorers of the literary world.
We must find the courage to write what
others are unable to, with the greatest of
passion.
A poet dreams, and then must portray his
visions upon the page that lies before him.
It is the beauty of all things that inspires us
to communicate in such a way.
A man does not wake up one day, and decide
to become a poet.
It must live in the very blood that courses through
his veins.
He is the creator of a world, only he has known.
He is the actor and director, of all that speaks
out through his pen.
He is a man of all men, visionary of all visionaries.
What you haven't seen, he has.
What you can't say, he can.
For he is the poet.
