Poetry is for the unexpressed souls
Poetry is for the creatives that need the juice to flow
Poetry is for the hearts that need healing
Poetry is for the minds to decipher the meaning
Poetry is for love and heart
Mind and street smarts
Poetry is for the soul like fertilizer for the creative planting hole
Like the sun that washes away all of the rainy tears we experience in multiple ways
Or the moon that illuminates the dark we fear
Poetry is for the song that must be sung
Or the heart that needs the alarm to be rung
For different perspectives on life
Poetry is for you and I and all peoples of every walk of life
Whether we create it as our mission
Or we read it just so our spirit can listen
Whether we spit it so the ground can tremble
Or we hear it so the chills can continue through our vessels
It’s an art that requires soul
An art that requires empathy to unfold
It’s not about the rhyme scheme
Or the similes, metaphors or double entendres
And although all that adds to the beauty
It’s the message and how it’s delivered
That makes others shiver
So next time you hear it or read it maybe even write it or deal it
Just realize the power of words
Others will try to belittle it
But the power of being heard
Is a power we all desire
We have it in our hands, our hearts and mind’s eye
so be sure to thank your higher power
