PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

like small children

sometimes

one should lead

with the power of one's heart

just as instinct

from the soul

plays a crucial

even though too often

sporadic part

calculation would best suit

our means

to remain in the category

marked cerebral skill

which is used in the works

of the most meticulous math

God granted to us the ability

to exercise our free will

as this edgy muse of mine

tumbles forth

I gather yet more jagged shards

to smooth a more by passable path

somehow

I must learn to hone this squandered

skill of mine

so to do with it what I should

and not myself undermine

otherwise

I may spout off in anger

or speak in much too much

careless haste

only to be silenced by the useless

shouts of fear

and that very thought

to me

utterly reeks

of spiritual waste..............
