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
