THE POWER IN POETRY
Whoever said poetry cant pay those bills
does not really know what poetry is,
poetry is power packed in beautiful words
poetry is 66 books plus 6 days of creation
Writing poetry got me through university
switching major some thought me crazy
looking within I found what I was seeking
my journey began, before writing this one
I had not a clue, about what I was to do
poetry so lovely she helped me find my way
holding my hand whispering precious secrets
assuring me that everything will be okay.
then when I picked the pen and wrote my first
it was not the best but yet still not the worst
and I got better with every letter, ever word
somehow someone near my poems heard
And then it hit me like a asteroid-my gifting
all this time what joys I've been missing
Im connected to a higher force through words
and it found me in its time not mine.
What potent power in poetry she opens doors
of expression releasing tensions through creation
to the pure in heart she holds nothing good back
abuse her gift she'll erase you from the book of life
So as I pen this I remember the one who heard
the one who saw every thought I thought every word
the one who gives and takes away, he shows
everything that will happen in time he knows.
