To mould the clay of words
Into a form rarely seen by others
Is a poet's job
To say what can't be said
To spill the thousand thoughts inside their head
And to paint with them
As Picasso they sit
With brushes dancing upon the easel
Of a clear night sky
Ready they are to paint
The beautiful clouds that do all but taint
The blackness they pass
And as the clouds fade off
Into the night like ships on the ocean
So the poet stills
