The Heart of Poetry by Glenn CurrierI know poetry is about words
and I do dote on words
I treasure digging up just the right one
to lay out on the carpet and let fly
but I wonder if
it would be well
to just dwell
in the heart space
in silence
to hold the object of my anger or irritation
there
in silence
surrounded by blood
and warmth
there
in the anchor of life
I have come to realize
poetry and its cousin prayer
are just as much
about the heart
as words. 09/08/2018 Posted on 09/08/2018 Copyright © 2024 Glenn Currier
