TELL IT TO A POET
When you're torn
Between holding on and letting go
Pause, breathe, reflect, compose
Steady your heart
Then tell it to a poet.
If dark clouds gather
Dimming your light, blurring your path
Don’t take another step.
Just halt
And tell it to a poet.
When time stands still
And your clock ticks no more
Days stumble like dwarfs
Nights suffocate with silence
Hold your breath
Then tell it to a poet.
A poet can’t part the sea
But they’ll build you a boat from dreams
Calm the storm
Guide you through
Until you reach the shore.
A poet can’t fill your belly with bread
But if you hunger for truth
They’ll feed your mind, free you from dread
Quenching your thirst
And easing your hunger.
When life forgets to live
Tell it to a poet.
When your thoughts blur
Don’t stare in distance
Pause
And tell it to a poet.
