Poem

A piece of writing is a poem

Not because it rhymes

But because it provokes

A freedom in your mind

 

A familiar place that feels new

As if it wasn\'t there before

And you read these words back and forth

Like a ballet of waves on the shore



Slightly higher, slightly lower

All that change is an influence 

Your thoughts become the art I attempt 

Your reality and your dissonance 



I write when I relate, I write when I don\'t 

I\'ve had days I could not hold my thoughts 

Grateful everyday for the gift of this language 

Atleast to attempt this connection we\'ve got!
