Sorting through
piles of papers,
sketches,
drafts of poems
because
there are
more words
to write,
more things
to draw,
more thoughts
to process.
I need a
Guardian Angel
who can help
me organize, create.
Perhaps a
publisher
to help me
be “discovered”
instead of
creating piles
of unseen work
on table tops
I pray will
reach the desks
of editors
into anthologies,
transforming me
from dreamer
into one of
those artists
with work that
is read, inspires
others to move
beyond dreaming
to doing. Praise
be the works.
