That I Would

to write like so, bird song

each note so high, just right

every verse a thread, woven, just so-

in muse’s song of poetry, the verse,


to pour out my heart, skein of thought

the roiling fog mist emotion

captured, dancing, eternally living

in immortalized verse;


that I would, living on earth

this very short life;

that I would, in life living know.
