Written around 1996, this is the first in a series of poems about my poetry and my self..hope you like it!

For want of a wordsmith I scribe these lines

Searching for reason in rhythm and rhyme

Baring my soul for all who might see

Cringing in darkness, slowly growing free

Best left to nothing yet burdened with pride

Weathered and worn with the unrelenting tide

Burning in blackness like a waterfall of light

Breathing the day past the coming of night.
