Analysis of I Am Words in Motion

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)



My poetry means much to me
Regardless of response.
I feel the magic, never tragic
Or even nonchalance.

Each word and thought are what I've got
To share with kindred souls,
I share my pain and hope to gain
The filling of all holes!

I also share more than despair
With praise for Jesus Christ
Who died for me at Calvary;
The Holy Sacrifice!
