Ink

Poetry brings clarity

in a world filled

with insanity

 

Long time ago

a friendship was born

with a pen

 

whispered words

from worlds not seen

or heard, truth

 

Masked in metaphors

but it shines

bright blue

 

Pen weaved words

bringing comfort

to the soul

 

 

Because it will

get beaten down

and worn

 

Band aids can’t heal

bullet wounds, restoration

found in literary art

 

In solitude, pen proved

to be the greatest

of friends

 

Promised to be

loyal till it’s last

breath

 

Provided a root for

inner strength’s tree

to grow

 

Leaves of creativity

and hope

fountain flows.

Star child road

Heart wishes

 

Family roaming

the home, never

alone,always cared

for and warm

 

Pitter

patter feet

chasing bulldog

to play

 

Love

enchantment

all around

to stay

 

Spirit

 

Wonder at

the world

Believing the

truth

 

Chasing destiny

Written for

searching, waiting

for signs, intune

 

Exploring, never

held down, wild

stallion attitude

With a half that’s true

 

Journey

 

Releasing lead

breadcrumbs of past

Fighting temptations

That lead to missteps

 

Sailing on lake, calm

enveloped by trees

Pristine green, path

swallowed by the sea

 

Underwater to reach

the core

the answers we

all look for
