A set o f words
Divorced by the moving of time
or feeling,
Cannot be called poetry;
For in molding a form,
shaping a life,
portraying the truth,
or revealing a soul-
Life does not stand still
Nor do words arrive uncut
by the heart and its thoughts.
Words set apart and set together
playing at rhythms, drawing pictures to
sing their story.
No divorce from real
but birthed in now,
birthed in pain, leaping joy;
sorrow, past pleasures.
Straining, grasping for the future.
Always pushed by
who I am, who I want to be,
all the whys and of course
by truth.

Very poetically stated. I like your choice of words (divorced, birthed, straining, grasping). Your ending is wonderful, "Always pushed by -- who I am, -- who I want to be, -- all the whys and of course -- by truth." I enjoyed reading this.
