I HAVE THE MIND AND MOOD OF POETRY <br /> <br />I have the mind and mood of poetry, <br />But I have no poem- <br />And all I can do is wait <br />And hear the words come <br />And wonder whether their strength <br />Is in my own inner quiet <br />Which loves the words <br />And loves the poem <br />And loves the light from my window <br />And the flowers on the balcony <br />And all I see and feel and breathe now- <br />Because Love makes the universe resound <br />Even when there is only a small poor poem to add to it.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-have-the-mind-and-mood-of-poetry/
