So this piece of writing if I take it a part, a bit-- may yield something else.
My work is metaphorical-- of a thought.
The figure, the thought, the idea--
or Ideal, is emerging
from the reeds or mind.
The bleak winter into a spring,
is the process of each new idea.
We reach for the summer
of each thought or aspiration--
then necessarily
fall back into another round.
I like to see this metaphor
as the Earth itself
going through its daily round.
There is a beauty in this thought,
and a search for truth,
and finally justice.
I go through my mind
searching
in some way each day,
the idea differs and shows
some new aspect of itself.
I see it as poetry.
I see poetry
as a search
for some kind of truth.
