I Write My Song As Poetry Poem by Peter S. Quinn

I write my song as poetry
I write my poetry as a song
I try to be continuously free
In what I do and long
My days are just like a drift
Of markedly ample something
The coiling of nature’s swift
That inside my infinitely bring

Every dream is what you are
Every dream is what you have seen
Reaching through the lonesome far
With the wonder where you have been
So much closeness in its play
Where the rivers meet the shore
They have come along long way
Always there for ever more

Like highest mountains blinded spot
The top is reached by step
Of what it is and what it’s not
Of depths and echoes hep
What centers me I hear?
Of impassive thoughts going
Each concept is like a spear
Of what is set out in knowing

Every day is like a time drift
To the closeness of your heart
With the morning in its new lift
Reaching times to another start
Like you are always dreaming
To be with your thoughts near
From every hour that's streaming
With its closeness of gone year

So much there in its unknowns
And endlessly in words
Pouring out its hailstones
Into the air like birds
I write my song for you
So you might hear its poetry
And always to endless renew
I have done for you and me

Every dream is what you are
Feeling the touching thought going
To forgotten places like a star
That in sky is lonesome glowing
So much time has been lost for all
On to the hours of dark and gray
Never again to a heart they’ll call
In the ongoing moments and day

I write my song as poetry
I write my poetry as a song
I try to be continuously free
In what I do and long
My nights are the skies of far
Of flowing airy the clouds
Sometimes there’s a falling star
In the mist that the ways enshrouds

Every dream is what you are
Every dream is what you have seen
Reaching through the lonesome far
With the wonder where you have been
So much closeness in its play
Where the rivers meet the shore
They have come along long way
Always there for ever more
