Upon This Paper

Surging from my mind,

like a stream after winter's thaw,

words flow down upon this paper,

fresh and poignant and raw.



Upon this paper, lined and white,

thoughts are newly born.

From a soul comes forth emotion,

tattered, tired and worn.



Reflections of experiences,

brought forward from a life.

Upon this paper lie memories,

of happiness and strife.



A little corner of my world,

for everyone to see.

Here, is where I share with others.

Upon this paper...is me.
