Poem Title:
Poem
You gaze into the mirror, the words written on a page and the many others your eyes upon have lain. You see yourself there in black and white or who you wish to be, if born in a different time somewhere across the sea. You fall in love with many, man or woman who knows, for when you are not yourself then anything can go. You have buckled many slippers upon your feet… or boots… and walked many a' mile in other people's shoes. You see your face as princess fair or villain black and cruel you've been a little child and a creature and a fool. You've been to far off places without ever leaving home you ride upon your rocking chair and on your bed you've flown! You've heard a thousand tongues but all within your mind so everyone you have met has your voice in kind. Oh to have this power! to go where and be who you please is the greatest treasure that could ever be! Without it how would we understand the world around us or know , what's true in life, have love for all or have our spirits grow? The power of knowing letters, how they form into words, oh it's near impossible to explain the passions they stir! But alas! The moral! Not impossible but real! For the power to read and write can express all that you feel. I hope the words I'm writing, The ones that you read here, form a clear reflection to see yourself appear.
