More Poetry

A friend of mine's been trying to get me back into open-mic poetry. Well, he's not all like, "YOU HAVE TO!" More like, he suggested it, I used to do it and really enjoyed it.. so it's more his suggestion and my brain trying to talk me into it. So I've been digging around in all my poetry books and trying to get some material together. I found this poem I've been looking for for literally years. I'm posting it for your pleasure.

Desire

I looked inside myself today,
And found my void
Filled with love and beauty.

I watched the wind play across the trees,
And dance with Herself -
I realized the mundane is joyful.

I saw a pair of lovers,
walking hand in hand, giving to each other
The love the ocean gives her children.

I saw Death.
She touched the wind
And reminded me of life's confusion.

I saw all of these things,
And now, in the darkness,
I think of the coming dawn.
