Poetry

Poetry Poetry offers a medium where The timid can enter unafraid It opens doors where you have never been Allows you to exercise thoughts that seem Out of order to the stilted mind Where you can tread on hallowed ground Ignore the traditions, rules and be unbound To express your deepest held ideas Outside the confines of right and wrong Nothing is out of bounds to the brave All is open to one who craves Journeys into the mind, but please be kind To the timid who too would fly If they too could find the way Into that land of freedom writers Into a place of release to the troubled mind Poetry can heal, mend and strengthen And release the chains that bind the bonded soul Allowing the release of memories to mourn And enjoy the past, give yourself permission to cry Open that door, find release and let the sunshine in Sorry, Am I preaching to the converted
