My Heart's Lullaby Tale
the ambiance of my rhythm
soars with my rhyme,
feeling the intensity of why
i can’t live without my muse-
for there are heights yet
needed to be reached,
inspiration craved from none
but
ME
without poetry i would wither into who i used to be,
a woman of dawn circling with dusk,
wading o’er what i longed for in my youth,
trying to imagine a life without my self-expression;
existence without encouragement
would be dreadful,
life without enthusiasm for gifts
bestowed would leave me gasping
~the air i inhale is for my heart’s lullaby tale~
revelations are found in poetry-
notions of love and loss prevail;
self-actualization feeds my intellect
and i realize touching a soul
through verses can bring peace-
my fragile heart soft,
shoulders bearing boulders,
never needing anything but the
comfort of words-
i wear impulse on my sleeve;
it keeps me warm when i need
to relieve my heart from what
needs to be mended
and
that is what writing does for me-
so
no, i could not live without poetry
