Life came without instructions, and when looking for balance, I found verses in this life written in the pages of poetry. Poems are the fingerprints of life from cultures today and those of centuries past. Poetry is a gift to us from the minds of others to teach us about ourselves. Meditating well written poetry was transforming for me, and writing poetry myself releases restless energies from deep within my soul. Poetry organizes my thoughts, it allows me to visualize and feel life from a different perspective. Poetry has a calming effect. Edward J. Ebbs - 12/03/11
