Dig deep in you.
Keep everything you find.
Sketch the ever changing views,
dappled behind your eyes,
rustling in your mind.
Unlock the weather
in your heart.
Unleash a thousand whispers,
let them shout.
Then
when you feel
the presence of a poem
waiting to spring
to sting
within you,
bewitch it
into words
and sing it out.
