Poetic Values
Tossed upon the waves
Lost in a sea of doubt
Words pressed upon a page
Tortured soul reaches out
Searching for the answers
Within these poetry lines
Feelings are so personal
Meanings not clearly defined
Expressions of passing life
Swim beneath each written word
Soothing language to console
Beautiful music to be heard
Lost love fills many lines
One can almost touch the pain
Grief wrapped around my heart
Poetry releases all my shame
Happiness has found a space
To let the sun shine once more
Safe harbour of my inner soul
Anchored safely to its shore
Held tightly within its grasp
To ride life's troubled waves
Steered away from craggy rocks
Poetry is my sheltered cave
For stored within my heart and mind
Is all that I do live
Poetry is a joyous gift to me
That I can so readily give
Without it I would be so lost
I surely would cease to be
For everything that is inside
Finds its way into my poetry!
