The Poet

Deep reflection fills my days

unspoken words abide

Quite often seeking solitude

within the countryside

A poet with a simple life

connected to  his youth

Dissecting years of memories

presenting hidden truths

Each year the Autumn days compel

the poet to his pen

Soon friends and lovers reappear

and writing then begins

Emotions trapped within the soul

Connect to memories

An avalanche of pain begins

and drives me to my knees

Sometimes regrets are pushed aside

When fate reveals the plan

A path was forged to bring me home

I now can understand
