Poetry is life.

feel it flow into your lungs,
hear it beat in your heart,
see it rise with the sun,
that light flickering in the dark.

Poetry is life.

the sound of a baby cry,
the sorrow when a friend dies,
It is that morning star in the sky,
that painful hug and a wave bye bye.

Poetry is life.

the baby steps in life,
the Dazzling stars at night,
It is the failure and success in life,
the true angel in trying times.

Poetry is life.

the past and the present,
the dreams and aspirations,
It is the choices in life
the important minutes and split seconds.

Poetry is…..life.
