The Beauty of Gifted Poetry

There are only so many poems you can read Then your heart just starts to bleed Because you still have that burning need You're trying so hard your soul to feed Your husband is so far away Your night is longer than your day You wonder if God can hear you pray Or if always alone you’re meant to stay The words just do not come out right You dread the long and lonely night The joy in your life has turned to blight Your choice? To die or to take flight Then healing words appear on your screen… That wash your heart and make you clean You feel like to heaven you have been A angel's ministration you have seen That’s the charm of gifted poetry Makes you live sheer ecstasy Wipes from your heart the drudgery Makes you taste eternity!
