"Poems are forever floating through my mind and if I don't catch them pin them to the page they are gone forever and what good is that?"

The heart of the matter

Here is the heart of the matter
each matter has a heart
just as the clover
has three
 and the body
holds one
so the stone, the earth, the tree
simply follow the veins
of leaf and quill
and soft smooth gold 
branching through granite
and you will see
there is nothing so solid
so hardened
that it does not have
a center
you need only search
for the cracks
they will always show the way
to the heart of the heart of the matter
