Self-Exploration

I choose sumptuous words

And whimsical ideas

Along with inspiration

To explore reality in verse


In silent hours

I dwell on each new theme

on what I think and what I see

Then I wait until the words flow out

From the depth of my artesian muse


It does not matter

How obscure the subjects are 

The process of creation 

Always offers me a chance

Of self-exploration
