The Power of the Written Word Dedicated To My Poetic Friends
The Power of the Written Word.. Dedicated to my Poetic New Friends..
My poetry used to be
only for my eyes
Than one day online
got a unexpected surprise!
Found this, site filled with those
Who didnt judge or criticize
Thought give it a chance you've
got nothing to lose
Could be beneficial hearing
others point of views
Took a deep breath & said
why not? Here it goes..
So with a little hesitation I
posted my first prose
Was delighted when positive
comments came flooding in!
New friendships blossomed
My heart was elated
I felt it from within
Glad I took the chance
no need for regret
Formed a close bond with
people I have never met
Truly a life changing experience
One that I won't forget
Still growing can't wait
To see what comes next
We are connected through shared
experiences & the ink of a pen
Artistic vibes the bond what more
could you want in a friend?
They built me up made me
believe my work was good
I took their advice.
Slowly believed that I could
That I could express my feelings hopes and fear
They would not tear me down
Instead stand up and cheer!
Never harsh words that is the key
Slowly over time the inner poet began
To come out in ME!
This positive reaction I did not foresee
Over time self doubt lifted
My spirit free!
I wrote of my pain, Loss,
& intimate personal stories
The more I revealed the more I found glory!
Glory and praise as well as recognition
This site has helped bring my dreams to fruition
my words on the screen for all to see
has brought out a deep sense
of satisfaction wirhin ME
For the first time in a while I was excited creatively
Slowly in time I began to believe In ME
Poetry has helped with my recent
loss more than I could have believed
Each step of the way
more confidence I achieved
Support from you all has brought
me a sense of peace
In YOUR words I have found relief
Such a beautiful gift to receive!
Support from these lovely strangers
has helped me to heal
To speak with others who know how you feel
In these friendships together we can reveal
Our feelings our joys and our pain
Knowing your not alone
That others feel the same
A part if myself I thought was gone
I was able to reclaim
Don't have to worry about sounding silly or absurd
Together here we have all connected through the
power of the written word
You all have brought some of my happiness back
To my fellow poets
There's no gift on Earth thats
Better than that!
