The power of poetry

As harsh brightness mellows into soft night
So dull diurnal duty dies away
 When sharp edges of  life fade from sight
Our minds now  set free to dream and to play
No longer by daily tasks constrained and tight
Then softness and magic are on full display

The stirrings of poetry showing their might
Banning petty cares ,no more our hearts  to fray
Unveiling the depths of  souls in their true light
To show us the true  meaning of eternity

Out of the hours of darkness shines the bright
Beauty of soulful understanding  blocked by day
Refreshing us for the struggles we must fight
Emotions recollected in tranquillity
