The Journey of a Poem*
(c)2000 Wynn Free

















They're not just printed words.
It's energy manifesting into words.
It's all of creation
Grouping into sentences,
Trying to make sense
From non sense,
Reaching your eyes,
And from your eyes
To your mind,
And from your mind
To your heart,
And hopefully you will get it.
You will experience
The energy,
And the creation
Which came before
The words.
So when we finally meet,
We will know
That we've met before,
And we'll have spontaneous understanding,
And the journey of a poem will have come to an end,
And the journey of a poet will have just begun.
