Harry Horsman Poet Free verse

Symbol

Many shapes many dimensions,
weaving amidst the peaks and valleys
of one’s mind, those that correlate
strength and tenacity, when
conforming to the intense highway!
Many storms to weather,
many characteristics invoked,
formulated strengths
new-found weakness,
when delving within the abyss
of enlightenment!
Gateways to prise open enclosed minds,
shelter to guard against the
prevailing turbulence of ignorance!
