Homage

In solitude, I take pen to page

With thoughts that need not be caged

For words are my escape, my flight

Dear reader, this is the reason I write.

Like Emily, I seek solace in rhyme

A sanctuary in the midst of time

My heart spills out in every line

For poetry, my love, is truly divine.

It's a way to escape reality

To explore the depths of my mentality

Ink flowing freely, no need to pretend

My words, my truth, my heart, I defend.

With every verse, I find my voice

A sense of purpose, a sense of choice

For poetry is my calling, my art

And it speaks to the depths of my heart.

Like Emily, I see the world in words

Each line a painting, each thought a bird

That soars and sings in endless flight

This is the reason I write, with all my might.

For in this world, where chaos reigns

My pen is my solace, my tranquil plains

I weave my thoughts, my fears, my joys

And create a symphony, a written noise.

So when you read these lines I pen

Know that my heart, my soul, my all, I send

For poetry is my lifeline, my guide

And for this reason, I write, with Emily by my side.
