IF IT WASN'T FOR POETRY CONTEST - 1st place

If it was not for poetry, I would have been lost like a ghost In the dungeon of loneliness And prison of being alone. Where blind hearts are callous and rough, Poetry gave me a shelter Against sourness and bitterness Of minds confined within a box. Poetry stirs the blood in me And cheers me up like a wake song When my heart faints against the storm, And my lost soul wanders to roam. Poetry gives me a new home, Wings and shields, and leaning shoulders, Morning sunshines and guiding stars, And a world I can call my own. If it wasn't for poetry poetry contest 1st place Sponsor: Silent One

I can attest to your feeling from poetry and its a shield from all sorts of storm and an inspiration to light the world with your light. After a little hiatus, I have re-joined with ki dred folks.
