Poetry Or Prose

Caught between poetry and prose
Like two lovers sometimes I cannot decide between
Prose says to me, lets build something long and lasting
Yet poetry takes me by my hand and whispers, 
‘come with me’
We can loose ourselves for awhile 
The moon will help us carry our smiles
The sun will walk along with us down mountain paths 
or flow along riversides
I am allowed to paint a rainbow in my sky
Even if darkness lies ahead and build a bridge 
to help me reach the other side.
In magic tones and loves shade
colours that will never fade.
My eyes grow moist, my heart in tune 
She lifts my mood as I see all those beloved faces 
cross my path in bloom.
