the poet's pen

o write a verse poet, 
to kinder the soul, 
to soothe it so, 
until we can feel 
every verse put to paper, 
then from each stroke of your pen, 
tells us what's on your mind 
taking us to worlds unknown 
to lands unconquered 
to places undiscovered. 
tell us what's on your mind 
o great one, 
tell us so that we may know 
coming directly from 
the poet's pen....
