To Create With Your Heart
Are you technically perfect,
but spiritually weak
Are your words so well crafted,
your soul cannot speak
Are your rhythms unmetered,
your feelings unrhymed
Are you stuck in a format,
that kills the sublime
Do your stanzas all end,
their beginnings destroyed
Does your summation grieve,
its parts overjoyed
Can you escape sophistry,
your craft turned to art
Can you risk all rejection
—to create with your heart
(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)
