The Poem I

by Chole Chanem

The poem that a person writes
Is a window on their soul
It gives a personal picture
A snapshot of their mold

And when we read the poem
And when we understand
The things that God has wrought
As modified by man

We may not fully comprehend
The passions there were unleashed
But we may partly empathize
The feelings that are contained

And so when you read these lines
And take some as your own
Pray, do not be too judgmental
As though all thoughts are known

But, with kindness and compassion
Read each and every line
And let the thoughts contained therein
Be pleasurable the your mind
