If You Could See Me
by Anneliese M. Kvamme
| If
you could see me taking up my pen You would, perhaps, not see the whirl inside Of hope and fear, of dread regrets I hold, Beneath the calm I show to all the world. No other way I've found to well dispell The hidden hurts and anguished feelings there. My words release the tensions, for a time, Bring order as I struggle for the rhyme And meter of a sonnet or a verse-- Seek peace within the discipline of words. So when the storm becomes too much to bear, I write to you, and find great solace there. |
