Poetry…

Is it not just another name for,

Love, laughter

Sanity, Insanity;

Romance, Sensuality

Friendship, Anger,

Songs and Sighs

Leaping Flights into Fantasy;

Is it not Solace and Anguish deep

Creation, Liberty ,

Grief, Relief

Heartache, Anxiety

Discovery and soulful Dreams;

Often it be some Share and Care,

Wit, Humour

Rhyme, Rhythm

Healing and Revealing;

Reality and Escape,

Hope and Faith,

Tales and Truth so often regaled;

And above all,

Is it not

Often tiresome and pained

Sometimes joyfully brave

Finding of Oneself, a Journey we crave…
