"Opening the mind and closing the door"

The Thing About Poetry I like to dream beautiful things up for Us to enjoy taking less making more Getting giving gotten when giving pays Taking and making up out of my dreams The best it could be beyond what it seems I take a pinch to make a bushel of The fruit of dreams grown from the seed of love This is the meaning of my days and ways And nothing is more meaningful than this Taking and making a dream like a kiss When a dream like a kiss is coming true I feel validated in what I do I make it and then when it should it stays Then I know when I make something to be Bigger than both of us better than me And this is the thing about poetry Opening the mind and closing the door Taking now and then making it always Enriching the world though remaining poor Making something to be better than me Bigger than both of us better than me And this is the thing about poetry +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
