Chris Matt Poet Tetractys

Where My Poetry Comes From

By Chris Matt

Where 
smiles laugh
tears can fall
hearts are poured out
and where I can be me for the first time.
Where my imagination can run wild
spirit flies free
here life can 
just be
mine.

For Michael F. contest "Where poetry comes from"
