Dear Poetry,

 

When you speak its like magic

Creating a new world all about you,

About your community, dreams,

And memories.

 

I hear you.

 

Those words stick to me like glue

With beauty and truth.

 

My life was never the same without that freeing way of life.

Like the weight has finally lifted from my shoulders

And hide no longer.

 

Fear is a word that no longer slips past my tongue

With your strength and guidance

I can find the words

And face my demons that have overshadowed my melancholy thoughts.

 

So thank you for the gift you have given me.

 

Sincerely,

Your biggest fan
