Love Poem: We Are All Collectors

We Are All Collectors

We are all collectors;
storing images and sounds
as museums their acquisitions,
and conductors, their array
of scintillating voices….

Some we obtain for profit
and some to simply enjoy--
a lovely face with charming
grace--a lyrical smile
with eyes that beguile--
the roaring wind
stripping trees and 
flattening fields—amazing
how many worlds a heart can
hold--or vanquish in an instant
of rage.
