"A Poet's Ear"

 


"A Poet's Ear"

Greg Budig 2021


A lyrical voice 

with a magical tone. 

Listening to life 

through a poet's ear.


A special cadence 

and rhythmic feel. 

Listening to life 

through a poet's ear.


Sentences borrowed. 

Sentences said. 

Listening to life 

through a poet's ear.


Playing with words as 

they go through your head. 

Listening to life 

through a poet's ear. 


The sound of distant voices 

that travel through the air. 

Listening to life 

through a poet's ear. 


 Starting to wonder if there's 

really someone there. 

Listening to life 

through a poet's ear. 


A far off train whistle 

fades away and dies. 

Listening to life 

through a poet's ear. 


See it again clearly by 

just closing your eyes. 

Listening to life 

through a poet's ear. 


The End
