Infinite Wheel
Poetry is an infinite wheel
with each poet a spoke thereof.
We put heart and soul on paper
with feelings from heartache to love.
Each poem is a jig-saw piece
that comes from deep within.
We admit to all our mistakes
and often confess our sins.
Poetry is life’s puzzle
that may often be repeated.
We just can’t help but wonder
if the puzzle will ever be completed?
Gerald Heyder is a published poet from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant poem, I enjoyed reading it this evening.
ReplyDeleteA really wonderful write Gerald. Truly our lives are like puzzles being put together. The missing puzzle piece in many lives is love, not selfish love (thinking only of what I want), but unselfish and unconditional love, (the pure love of Christ; Charity) that thinks of others first. Charity is what brings the greatest meaning and joy into ones life. Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem.
