I found a poem
I found it listening to music
I found it walking down the street
I found it petting my dog
I found it soaring over a jump in a two point position
I found it listening to a poem

There’s always a poem
A poem in the sun
A poem in the moon
A poem in the ocean, or the desert

My pool is full of poems, spilling over the edges
Similes, metaphors, and idioms waiting to be written
My mind is full of unwritten poems

There’s a poem everywhere in life, death, tears, or smiles,
You can tell your story or your poem
Because everyone has a poem.
