Poetry is man's inspiration
It's like a rhythmic flow
Of expression in translation
It comes into the mind
And is felt deep in the soul. Where does it come from?
Do you question the source?
And when it is written
Does it map out a course?
Do the lyrics lift up your thinking?
To give you a purpose for living,
To feel very creative yourself
Because to another you are giving. I am glad to be a channel
Through which it can express
For the words are like music
From out beyond the wilderness.

Carol Ann Wolfe
