an earthly gate of pearl

I have thought to be a writer

A poet of unimaginable talent

To take great words of wisdom

Placing them,just so,on a page

I would use the finest verbs

Nouns that tell intellectually

Great stories of pomp,and pain

Yet,standing in the doorway

Looking both inside,and out

I have come to realize my nature

Is not in the clouds,as some

For,I can not discuss with rationale

The feelings I have,in depth

And,therefore,must turn aside

From heavenly verse on high

And use a common,clattering tongue

To brighten an everyday life.
