Poem #2

This past summer I was introduced to the writer Robert Hayden. Not only his work but his life story left me breathless. Do we not know that some grow to create artful insight after suffering darkness. His work inspired this thought.

There is a view from this room
From where you can hear.

There is a song playing
From which you can see.

It is so quiet in this room
One can taste.

Lonely is to be
What not we know of love.
