In Poetry I Find Salvation

In Poetry I Find Salvation
It has saved me
from the
depths of despair
that emanate
from living
in this world

It has taken me
to a higher level
where I live
in freedom, happiness
enjoying each day
as it slowly passes.
It has

opened my mind 
taught me wisdom, 
enlightened me.
I need it 
like I require
food and air,
am grateful

that I found her.

Hello Frank Sheehan, I am also graceful for poetry. It has healed me. It has wisdom which I read often, I learn from it. Poetry also makes me laugh. It makes me feel loved. Have a nice evening my friend.
