trying

I am only a writer

I score my reality

with my pen



reflect life’s images

back to you

like that of a

lake still



shimmering before you

clear

clean

complete



but water – like truth –

is inconstant

___ constant moving

__________moving in

__________moving through

my emotions



I am only human

my words are human too

Being fully human is the best we can do... we are made to be human, and to be only human is greater than we can imagine.

Lovely poem!

"I am only human
my words are human too"

Those last two lines really stood out to me; they really completed the poem very well.

Scoring reality with your pen makes you a writer. Reflecting life's images makes you an artist (much larger term).

love this part so much... it's really moving...on the page

yet is to be human an "only." It's only me I often say. As if it were nothing. Which maybe it is. I like your poems. Quiet and contemplative. Be well, Suki

Tania and Suki - yes, we forget that the "human" part of us - the imperfection - is the beautiful part, don't we?? thanks for your words ...

samurai - don't you think though writers are artists too??

HB, A and Bobb - i appreciate your visits and words of encouragement

all of your visits encourage the fostering of more words :)

Of course I think that. My point is that, when you've taken on the task of reflecting life's images, you are then contributing to the art world, and not just the writing one. Your writings then reach artists of all kinds, not just other writers.
