TRYING TO GATHER MY THOUGHTS
Sitting here alone
And trying to gather my thoughts
Thinking and at home
And pondering over
The next idea sought
Grabbing the pen and paper
And what shall I write today
Many ideas in my head
But what do I really want to convey
Or even say
And in such a poetic way
That will ignite the very words and lines
Right there on the page
As I’m trying to move
To the very next stage
Of creativity and artistry
For my next title is caught and captured
Inside of the literary cage
And trying to make a case
That will be shared beyond me
I have gone through many pieces of paper
And tossed to the can
Just waiting for the one I can savor
And that will sail across the land
Many words there in the receptacle
But I am far from done
With many works upcoming
And with a style that is reciprocal
Yet signature me
For I can never get enough
Of this poetic writing
So, as many ideas
Stay put or go out of the window
For I have no concerns or fear
That I will ever lose my poetic flow
As the pen writes and the words roll
And all the way to the very last line
That allows this piece to be so
As me and poetry
Or not on the verge
To stop or halt
Another piece headed towards completion
After trying and gathering my thoughts
