Poets from cradle to grave

Poets from cradle to grave 
By Michelle Morris

We all need poetry 
It's something our souls yearn for 
We may not even recognise it 
This feeling of needing inspiration 

For this world is awfully busy
Filling itself with busyness 
People running here and there
Not realising that this moment is a gift

Maybe we need to slow down a little 
Maybe we need to slow down a lot
Focus on the words and their spells
The magic that they weave for you and me

Isn't it wonderful?
Isn't it a delightful place to be?
There where the words and spaces meet
Poetry that helps us feel complete

Emotions and thoughts 
Feelings and sensory thrills
Everything becomes possible again 
We are outside of space and time and will

For we are pure energy and light 
Frequency and vibration and love
We are magic and miracles and masterpieces 
We are starlight and stardust and joy

Ah, we all need poetry 
It's something our souls desire deeply 
We are part of the Universe's story 
We are part of its inspiration 

Let's make this world quieter
Let's make it calm and harmonious 
Let's make it peaceful and happy 
Let's make it loving and fun and glorious 

For we are the creators of the spells 
We are all magical blessings 
Poets from cradle to grave
Beyond galaxies and stars and heaven
