I am a Poet: Poem

 

I am a Poet

I am a poet but first

I look for beauty in the waist,

Diamonds shine between the stones,

Flickering light

To find peace in my fights

To rhyme my words

And balance in the storms.

I have the soul of a widow

That waits for the sunlight at the window.

I can see all night –

Winter ice, cooking rice –

I just need to close my eyes.

I am a poet but first –

Out of the ashes

Always come salvation.
