There Was a Poem in my Head

There was a poem in my head

As I woke up this morning

I tried writing it at breakfast

But lost it by noon

I walked through the garden

In the hopes that I 

May find a trace of it hiding

By a flower or a fountain

It talked of two angels

And hunger for love

And a smile that had the glory

Of the planets above

By evening I left 

The university disjointed 

And went looking for a company

In a church assembly

And there I met a friend

Who I lost years back

And slowly I let my heart sink

Into the sea of warm regards

We talked and exchanged smiles

Like newly formed planets around

The same star; A shared understanding 

Of the night’s meaning

My friend soon left, and I did too

And I walked slowly home

With an angel in my heart

And a newly written poem

Process of writing a poem.
