Another Point of View
Empathy defines my poetry,
a collection of smiles, tears, and rage.
Poems forge the emotional keys
that free fragile feelings from their cage.
When probing for deeper awareness,
insensitivity risks my wrath.
For it hurts to suffer criticism;
from those following a dead-end path.
Seeking answers to complex questions,
I find truth resides between the words.
My poetry takes snapshots of life;
the human psyche to fledgling birds.
In the reality of my world,
dreams turn to frustration as time slips.
But the memories stored in my heart;
frequently brings a smile to my lips.
Through poetry, I open your eyes,
exposing my heart and soul to you.
And though I speak of what's familiar,
I offer another point of view.
