Poetry Is a Gift

Tears and laughter an emotional lift; 
Raw honesty heart on the page 
like True North poetry is a gift; 

When the peace holding you goes adrift 
read each verse and smell the sage,
tears and laugher an emotional lift; 

Each line composed slowly or swift 
you escape from reality’s cage, 
like True North poetry is a gift; 

A live wire clenched in your fist 
finally detonating all the rage, 
tears and laughter an emotional lift; 

Penning a contagious paradigm shift 
finding the others who slowly engage, 
like True North poetry is a gift; 

With each line a lantern is lit 
each phrase taking center stage;
Tears and laughter an emotional lift, 
like True North poetry is a gift.
