Analysis of The Field Of Poetry



~~~
akin to quiet rain
entering broken
earth poetry
permeates our lifes
~
like the air we breathe
we do not see but it
is there
~
flowing from the well
of the poet's being
shaking our minds
like turbulent sheets
in a march wind
~
conversely a field
of pleasure and joy
to the open heart
with its grains of peace
