“Poem of the Day” by Trevor Witt
To keep depression away,
To grow joy and let ambition hold sway,
To express grief and anger and regret,
And to love beings and concepts I have never met.
To make music for friends,
To contemplate the end,
To waste time alone in my room,
And to wait for the sun while outside is filled with gloom.
To eat words, to feast on phrases,
But most of all, to find the sacred spaces,
In the singularity of the soul, that eternal pit,
To explore the puzzle of the mind and to find verses that fit.
