i wanted to write a poem
on this lovely summer eve
a cool clear night to dream
to muse, think, and reflect
i wanted to write a poem
not like this one, something
profound and long buried
deep inside my very being
inside all of us, everyone
something that came with
each of us to this incarnation
something... we long forgot
i wanted to write that poem
but the night is too clear
the air and aura too sweet
and the buzzing warble
of cicadas brought me
to this poem that i did write
