What Is Poetry

Poetry is the balance between each night and day An expression of our soul's search for truth along the way Poetry is an oasis where exhausted we are led A meal to fill our emptiness and through which we are amply fed Poetry is a solitary sunbeam on which the dust of despair tries to cling Valiantly awaiting the noon day sun and the power that it will bring Poetry is an immeasurable amount that we attempt to diversify But no matter what the content is it never tells a lie Poetry is a newly discovered Renoir which has been hidden far to long A pictorial excellence to gaze with awe upon Poetry is an embryonic story that awaits to be told A masterpiece in the making each chapter to unfold Poetry is a camera it's aperture focuses to complete an imprint of the moment That develops with each heartbeat Poetry is an experience that we equally share with time To reassemble like a jigsaw, the deeds of yours, there's and mine Poetry I hesitate to label you at all Just to say I'll be here each time you choose to call.
