• A Poem

    a poem is a song
    that the wolves sing at night
    a poem is a feather
    fallen from a bird's flight

    a poem is the night
    when bats open their eyes
    a poem is the day
    when the darkness dies

    a poem is a dragon
    graceful and lithe
    a poem is the fire
    making you feel alive

    a poem is the winter
    colder than ice
    a poem is the summer
    melting things in a trice

    a poem is the drought
    it burns, dry it feels
    a poem is the rain
    it drowns, yet it heals.
