Poetry Is a One-Way Ticket

Sun, 07/03/2016 - 18:06 -- ReginaQ

Poetry is a one-way ticket

Taking me across oceans 

And into the Past

 

Poetry is a one-way ticket

To meet leaders, scholars, people

From far way lands

From another time

Step into their minds

Look through life from their eyes

 

Poetry is a one-way ticket

I leave that self behind

I become who I really am

And I rise

I can whisper, sing, and scream

I can sketch and paint

These words are mine and I am theirs

 

Poetry is a one-way ticket 

To bring everyone together

Language, Time, Distance

Are no longer barriers

It turns me into we

And only then can we learn from each other
