Sitting at my desk,
a pen in my hand,
and a white empty page in front of me,
wanting to write something to shake all the revolved thoughts off me.

Seconds, minutes, hours,
time went by,
still nothing in my paper,
same confusion on my head.

8: 20 pm,
oh, how much time went by,
not noticing at all,
my attention called by a new message.

I checked it out,
a true poet was talking to me,
and so i read her pieces of art,
real poetry real feelings expressed with such precise words.

One called my attention,
''A Lesson From The Heart''
oh! what a poem!
A true lesson from a big heart!

This bright piece of art,
cleared my mind,
cleared my heart,
made me feel free again.

I made a new friend now,
one of a kind,
a hard one to find.
Thanks my dearest poet friend,
who is teaching me a lesson from the heart.

Out of a thousand pieces of a broken heart,
you have collected nine hundred-ninety-nine,
and the the one significant left,
is the one life must collect.
