Autumn Rose Wood Poet I do not know?

A Purpose of Her Poetry

What she can't say
Can't speak
With her tongue aflapping

She dashes
on white paper 
With blue or black or red ink

Not a ship in a bottle
Her sails unfurled
Traveling the seas of her tears

Happy and sad and all of the above
Love and hate and sorrow and fear
She kisses them all

And leaves them here
To find their own way
So that she is free

Light 
Less her heavy burden and thus
Able to lift the load of others
