MERAKI (wonders of a Poet)

'Tis the eyes that glow with light.
'Tis the wings that were made for flight.
With legs made for adventure,
I looked for happiness,
like a starved vulture.

These hands meant for creation,
and a mind that alights with inspiration
I bear this heart on my sleeves.
Heart as fragile as a porcelain,
Easy to break, yet writes in vain.

As I hold this pen and paper,
Letters in words are no stranger.
Like a long lost friend,
I yearned and held close.
Let time fly past, it's worth a lot.

Never was I a better writer,
nor was I a great creator.
Alas, I am but a mere amateur.
I do not hold the wisest wisdom,
nor do I possess a flowery tongue.
But with words pieced together,
My heart has found its healer.

Give a piece of your time
To this mind's deep wonder.
I'll tell you stories in stanzas,
Of a life lived in letters,
A life of a gal so meager,
a gal so flawed, yet so eager.
