Ars Poetica

“Gravity”

Take the weight of the world and give it to a flower.

Enlarge it’s petals to bear:

Bear the weight of the past.

Take the weight of the world and give it to a cloud.

Raise it up to see:

See the weight of the present.

Take the weight of the world and place it on your shoulders.

Strengthen them to move:

Move the weight of the future.

Take the weight of the world and give it to the written word.

Shape them into Poetry:

Poetry, the weight of your soul.”
