More To Me Than Air

Since I lost all those I love even my little baby prince to that heavenly place above, my writing is my life and all; from a dark pit I had to crawl it took me from a vast ghost land, my sweet MUSE took me by the hand, now, in serenity I stand. My writing is my life and all; from a dark pit I had to crawl. I pen words from a wounded soul, my writing giving me release; from inner talk that wants control, words take me to a place of peace. Writing is like breathing fresh air, my words let me lay my soul bare. Dark death I push away, in lush green fields I lay; yes, writing means more to me - since. ______________________ June 18, 2019 Poetry/Rhyme/More to Me Than Air Copyright Protected, ID 19-1157-640-02 All Rights Reserved.

Gorgeously done; so well-felt, and heart-felt, and sad and true. We have to find something to not get rid of the sad, for that cannot be done, but to somehow push it out for a little bit. Congratulations on POTD my friend.
