This poem finds inspiration in William Blake's poem Tiger, tiger burning bright.
Poet, poet speaking bright
taking words into flight
what human mind or heart
could fathom the extent of thy art?
In what vision or dream
did she find life's stream?
On what wind does she fly
to reach such a high?
Who will listen to her song?
Who will accept her when she goes wrong?
Her eyes are open to see all -
this will make her rise and fall
What rhythm? What verse?
What blessing? What curse
will be unleashed by her pen
to make her passion be felt again?
When the sun sets on her tongue
know that the quest has only begun.
She will need the dark rest
to become her utmost best.
Poet, poet speaking bright
taking words into flight,
what human mind or heart
dare fathom the extent of thy art?
