Reading majic's journal

Today has been a very productive day. While gathering inspiration from reading many Emily Dickinson poems I decided to try my hand at a few tangents and this is one of them. My goal is to reverse engineer her style, learn and master it and explore it with creative writing...

Devotion By Itself

Devotion by itself,
is a touch of the hand,
a swiftness in the breath,
so hard to understand.

When matched with trust,
it's shape will mend,
and gather love beside,
and adorn itself with ornaments,
a thing that's seldom tried.

If honor is placed within it's grasp,
it'll ferment into a wine,
and age along and infinite,
and something so devine.

When taken full and in sum,
these elements will congeal,
and build upon themselves,
with strength of that in steel.
