Poem Artwork

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I find happiness
on the business
end of a pen, dipped
in ink - when applied
to a blank sheet of
paper, I think of
how God must have felt
when He created
Light.  He saw that it
was good (very good).
It illuminates
the dank, dreary spots
that need airing; it
allows me to purge
the demons from my
life that threatened to
kill me in my sleep;
it permits me to
see the world with new
eyes; and it lets me
count the blessings in
the midst of troubling
hurricanes and drought -
and you ask me why
I write poetry?
The words I scribe have
been my salvation.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Writing, in general, is greatly theraputic but poetry is a lot more personal and allowes for a more indepth exploration and expression of all that imbeded in the soul. ~~Carmen

When you repeat this mind-conditioning treatment daily, you do construct your sub-conscious toward the realization that you are a poet and you set a timetable each day to accomplish each phase of your poetry, Karla. The universal light feeds into it. Blessed Be.

If not poetry, what would you be writing? If not a poet what would you be? This one brings a whole lot of vibe to it. Keep it up.
