WHAT POETRY MEANS TO ME

 

 

A ray of light

When clouds are grey

A constant guide

When I loose the way

 

An intimate friend

When heart overflows

A subjective experience

That others undergo

 

An honest prayer

When fear embraces

A shady tree

That always blesses

  

Wings to fly

When happiness tends

A thirst quencher

When marathon ends

 

A firm root

When roof comes down

A heaven above

When no one's around

 

Freedom of speech

When tyranny mounts

A sensitive soul mate

When numbness surrounds

 

And, so much more

When all else sway

Poetry is a way of life

Poetry is life in a way
