Dare I Share

Dare I show others, what it is I see? A path one may take, to set themselves free. The words that I speak, should give them a clue, Open a doorway for them to go through. I offer others an explanation, How we each played a role in creation. I will share with them, the thoughts of my soul, Allowing beauty and love to unfold. Would I dare die with my song still unsung? Like a tower’s bell that's never been rung. No, I say, for today; I'll bare my soul. I've been given a story to be told. A tapestry of words, I'll share with thee, The essence of Truth that's been shared with me.

And through your tapestry of words, we learn too. Yes, One musnt hesistate to share their thoughts in their soul, never suppress, and as poets we must always express. Thats what we are good at, sometimes i hide behind metaphors when i share the darkest experiences of my life, because i write to express and not for validation, only few can understand the depth of such poems. I weave hah. I love the way you write always .. keep shining

Thank you, my light from Maldives, for your comments on my poetry and for the glimpses into your lovely heart and mind. I do believe poets contribute strongly to the heartbeat of the world. I believe friend like you are orchestrated by the universe. Like minds are drawn together to strengthen each other. May our lights make it easier for readers to share Love with their fellow man.
