Poem 4, June 4
Beauty Reveals the Truth
So it was with Keats,
poet of 54 poems in a life
cut short by poetry,
seeking its miracles
in the desire
& in the suffering
of his own heart.
So it is with me,
writing a poem each day,
wording miracles
like rejoicing in your arms,
like capturing suffering truth
within the flow of Old Seventy Creek
& within the beats of my own desiring heart.
