TENDER IS THE VOICE WITHIN

Tender is the voice within
Which rages at the world;
Never reaching far beyond self,
To hurt those that do not see,
It torments the poet, now free.

Joyful speech of seeing’s,
Created in and of the world,
Are stored within the corpus
And joined with knowledge’s sea:
It ferments in the poet, now free.

A becomingness, inspiration –
Being of the world
Being in the world
Becoming the world
Within everythingness adrift.

Floating in that timeless space,
Amongst the eddies of it all,
Beyondness and presence are clear;
Focussed by a hidden desire to be
It creates in the poet, now free.

Anchored in the caring words
Found floating in those around
It’s brought to earth, words to read,
Shared with all who care to see;
It completes the poet, now free.
