new unfinished poems

I hadn't been inspired to write anything for over 15 years, and in the last couple months, 2 poems have popped into my head. I would not consider them completed, but want to get them down in a more permanent place so I don't lose them.

Poem 1
Are these voices or are they words,
These thoughts inside my head?
They swirl and they crash,
Like waves or like the wind.
When I open my mouth.
they don't come out
how they went in.

Poem 2
When I encounter beauty,
I stop and have delight;
I revel in the moment,
the vision of the day.
I ascend into the heavens,
and roar into the night,
I think about forever
and remember yesterday,
grateful for this instant
and hopeful for the next.
