To the Poet -Biittanq Blankenship-
As Bach composed "Magnificat," As Shakespeare crafted Hamlet, Compose and craft me as You will Since
1,
alone, cannot.
Wield your pen with
And
take
artist's
grace
command of me.
Write a cadence echoing
Heaven's symphony.
Every stanza, rhyme, and
Make it point to Wind my words
Thee.
Like ivy wraps a
tree,
'til
line:
'round thoughts of You,
naught else shows but Thy bright form
Yet shadowed by a poem.
