What Does Poetry Mean To You
A r u s t l i n g breeze through my soul when I am left breathless,
a song to be sung in the dark of night when sleep can’t be found-
A way to channel my SORROW when anguish leaves me restless,
and a melodious tune when my heart CAN'T feel life’s sound.
I’ve been up and down and through the wilderness of LOSS,
I’ve fallen in the depths of love with a man I can’t explain-
my verses c a r r y me through my journey no matter the cost,
heal my heart when I am left m o t i o n l e s s from the pain.
I was once asked what poetry honestly really means to me,
I’d have to say it relieves my LONGING from my wounds to be free.
