I Didn'T Write a Poem Today

I didn't write a poem today I left it somewhere in the trees The breeze said listen softly Past the effort and the ease The eve was in the willows Whispers far from home or land Words fell from to my footsteps Where I took a look to stand The all was not in any answer Since I gave them all away Today my poem has echoes Past the leaves that never stay Like a sorrow and an always The lines are not in tracks The poem says give is easy When you never get it back 10/2018 10/10/18
