The Best Creations

The Best Creations

The best creations rise from deep within
As truths may be elusive and obscure.
The poet tries to guess where life has been
And shows the reader how one can endure
With sceptic ear and tongue, and open sense
And so create a feeling with control;
And then to banish it and make it dance
With tales and stories which one can enrol.
But poems may be loved or deeply feared
Where words begin the stumble towards death;
So don’t refuse them even though they’re jeered,
We let them float where they may teach and bless.
All past and present futures are as one
Where software speaks, as life, when it is done.
