A Sun in My Heart
I have a sun in my heart;
when I write, it tears me
apart.
It becomes a light into my
sight.
It's like when autumn
comes
and the leaves become red
and yellow,
and the rain falls from the sky
into my eye.
It's where the mountain
takes me there
and I hear the shepherd's
music in the air.
It's where the sea travels
with me
to another Earth,
and there with the waves
takes together my breath.
It's the poetry inside me
that takes me high
to reach the sky
and the clouds
with her own sounds.
