Breathe with the moment 
 Focus the eye
 Tune the ear 
 when poems are nigh 
 Be transported
 To experience afar
 Adventure and romance 
 Illumination of stars
 
 Poems are companions 
 For very good reason
 For poets are adventurers
 Beyond bounds of the seasons
 Beyond bounds of the earth
 No measure of their worth
 Can keep words from welling
 Can restrain the work of telling
  
 They convey feelings through 
 the art of painting with words
 Not read before not seen or heard
 Beautiful weavings that awaken our hearts
 To the emotions of others who cannot impart
  
 Anonymous poems from times immemorial
 Modern poems with layers to peel 
 Poetry is the magic carpet 
 Flying to places unknown 
 Ride on the carpet and know you have grown
