Blinded <br />by the light of poetry <br />Deafened <br />by its song <br />I strive <br />to see and hear <br />beyond the Word. <br /> <br />My pen spews <br />clots of ink <br />Blackening <br />white pages <br /> <br /> <br />The Poet <br />urges me to reach <br />beyond the edge <br />of space and time <br />But I am trapped <br />in the gravity <br />of my mind.<br /><br />Elaine Polin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trapped-4/
