If you hear one say,
That poetry is always there for them
That it is what gets them up in the morning
When they seem like the loneliest person in the whole world.
When in this life’s realities,
Vying for a little getaway,
Write your way into another world
And get lost in these letters and pages.
When being an introvert mutes you
When you’re on cloud nine but fail to orate,
These papers deny you not.
Heed the potence of the pen
And embrace writing as your best mate.
Come rain or sunshine
Writing will be the monument of your peace.
After filling pages with things be-known to none,
With ink-stained palms and a satisfied grin
That’s when you know your heart is in the right place.
In oblivion, we befriend a painting or a song
Come to think of it, this gift has always been my best friend all along.
