A poem

A poem of love, a poem of hate,
A poem of someone's tragic fate.
A poem of peace, a poem of war,
A poem of old, forgotten lore.

A poem of silver, a poem of gold,
A poem of something really bold.
A poem of joy, a poem of pain,
A poem of heavy, relentless rain.

A poem of life, a poem of death,
A poem of someone's very last breath.
Yes, I think I will write a poem,
I'll just sit here and let my mind roam.
