Virtuous Voices

I was cocooned in cares under
                                a juniper tree;
My spirit swung briskly into
                           a stormy sea,
The blast and billows rolled into
                              my serene soul,
I had to pen a priceless piece
                              to make me whole.

As I rushed to find a release
                               in my room,
I found my muse in the petals
                               of morning bloom.
As the sunlight sweetly snugged
                               the scary scars,
I penned a priceless piece for
                               the morning stars.

The tough teardrops that fell
                                were the ink
with which my hands drew
                                a luminous link...
Between my grave challenges and
                                my cheap choice.
The result was a priceless piece full
                                of virtuous voices.
