You talk about craft

Unlocking visions
beyond what is apparent

Dare to speak the truth:
another prefers silence;
each finds his own way
Words reflect knife's edge
joy, pain, sorrow multiplied
condensed in poems
Above all else, write:
keep striving; chances are good
you'll carve your own path
While the road ahead
remains hard, one understands
maps fashioned with words
Fragments of prayer
snatched from thin air and transformed
poetry for all
