Rhythm of Life

My life: a poem
a collection
of rhyme
of rhythm
centered around
one specific subject

A poem: a stanza
a few brief lines
pressed together
joining hands
patterns compiled
creating one picture

A stanza: a line
my words
in agreement
six lines—
drops of paint—
one brush stroke

A line: a word
my choice
from twenty-six
a selection
from many
creating one

A word: a letter
stray marks
connected
pieces
one letter
one sound

One poem
one life
minutes die
words appear
memories made
rhythms formed

Many poems
many lives
somehow connected
effecting each other
creating
one world.
