A Shared Experience
Let poetry be your candle in the dark...let its flame burn in your thoughts,
fueled by the wick of your pen.
It's your literary voice, let it be heard;
for it's your connection to other sentient souls.
If you have a story to tell,
or merely find words and phrases weaving through your thoughts;
trust in your muse, yourself, and your feelings.
The skills will come in time as you connect with similar creative souls
that reveal themselves through their pens.
Poetry is a shared experience between the poet and the reader;
it can inflame the heart, stroke the ego, and appease the soul.
Capturing your thoughts on paper or screen for the perusal of others
offers a certain inner satisfaction that must be experienced to be appreciated.
Your words will guide you to a deeper awareness of self,
there is nothing like it...I promise!
You don't need to master any poetic form.
Just be the best poet you can be,
the rest will come with time and practice.
I sought refuge from the onslaught of life's compromises,
and I found it in poetry.
Poetry transposes my feelings into words, words that others can relate to,
and for a brief moment in time, we are one.
