Poetry Made Me Feel Whole
Stared at two passionate lines for the longest time!
What I wrote…as if in a trance, is this a verse?
Tears fell, one after another…
Every drop, every translucent pearl of grief
Long encased in a shell of hope and disappointment...
I was rapt with a feeling of purification,
This was my holy place, a poem was my offering!
A wrong decision in youth caused insurmountable uphill struggle,
Shutting my eyes, clenching my fist, hushing my voice!
Finally a drizzle of rain from heaven quenching my starving lyrical soul,
Phoenix rising from the ashes, this is Me!
My creativity was back, negativity disappeared in a mist,
There is unselfish love in this world, there is miraculous compassion
Expressing myself in rhymes made sense to me, Poetry made me feel whole....
Days are gone when I felt despondent and trivial,
Drowning in verses, found my catharsis - an existence significativa!
