Our Spirit's Song

What is poetry? I've heard it said

It's something you can feel

A thousand thoughts caught in your head

That causes our souls to heal

It's never about a pretty word

Or even the poet's style

It's about a moment we've lived or heard

That always makes us smile

It's something hidden deep inside

That we need the world to see

Or maybe a pain that we can't hide

Once written will set us free

A poem is maybe a dream we've chased

A dream we've never caught

A poem is all the trials we've faced

Memories that can't be bought

A poem is never right or wrong

Sometimes it heals a scar

Sometimes it's called our spirit's song

It's part of who we are

I think you've hit the nail on the head with this one...So true, Poetry is in our heart, mind, and soul. To write these emotions down and share it, is to set ourselves free. Wonderfully written my friend!
