Ode to Poetry

On the ocassion of World Poetry Day:-

Poetry is my refuge on cold wintry nights 
The first light of dawn 
The evening twilight that paints the sky 
In hues of fiery coral.
As the glorious orb dips below the horizon
Poetry whispers in my ears.

In spring, the season of joy and abundance
When vibrant flowers bloom 
Leaves flutter in the zephyr 
Birds sing in the trees 
Gentle showers soak the earth 
Refreshing Mother Nature 
Poetry hums a song of revival.
 
When storms rage in my life
And devastation and havoc follows
Poetry is the rainbow after the rains 
Bringing in hope and solace  
Like the warm comforting embrace of my mother 
In whose arms I find peace and feel safe.

Poetry is my muse 
That fuels my creative juice 
It is my emotion 
That sparks imagination
The friend in times of sorrow and joy 
A ever constant companion 
The music and rhythm 
And my connection with the world.
