Poetry Is a Gift

Tears and laughter an emotional lift; Raw honesty heart on the page like True North poetry is a gift; When the peace holding you goes adrift read each verse and smell the sage, tears and laugher an emotional lift; Each line composed slowly or swift you escape from reality’s cage, like True North poetry is a gift; A live wire clenched in your fist finally detonating all the rage, tears and laughter an emotional lift; Penning a contagious paradigm shift finding the others who slowly engage, like True North poetry is a gift; With each line a lantern is lit each phrase taking center stage; Tears and laughter an emotional lift, like True North poetry is a gift.
