Giving Back

The pen makes a powerful statement

that flows like a swift-moving brook,

Reflecting ideas from the artist

and seen with only one look.

Embellished with colour to touch a heart,

it's done by a poet-to-be

Who feels the dreams within the heart,

setting the poetry free.

Painting the words with living colour,

so everyone can see,

Is giving a little beauty back

from the joy that was given me.
