About a Poem.
This is a poem.
This poem is about love, long awaited
The yearning for understanding, friendship, intimacy.
This poem is about children, laughing
Running through playgrounds as mothers watch cautiously.
This poem is about highways, crowded
Traffic buzzing in and out to new destinations.
That is what this poem is about.
This poem is about breathing, deeply
Taking in the life around me as I use my legs for walking.
This poem is about laughing, out loud
With friends gathered enjoying a simple moment in eternity.
This poem is about memories, photographs
Capturing a precious moment to be told in forever stillness.
That is what this poem is about.
This poem is about singing, loudly
So out of tune but yet lyrics sound still so sweetly.
This poem is about helping, graciously
Offering a hand to hold for the hopeless in an endless amount of time.
This poem is about dreams, fervently captured
Sacrifices made now so that life may become more than anticipated.
That is what this poem is about.
This poem is about a feeling, I feel
Deep in my chest or my stomach, I don’t know which
This poem is about to scream, for life
Like words dancing across a moonlit page on a summer night.
This poem is about words, actions
Saying ‘hear me, speak me, know me, LET me.’
That is what this poem was about.
