"Poetry Through A Readers Eye"




Upon the page
Ink flows like a river
Telling readers a little story
Giving them a glimpse into a different landscape, feeling, or emotion
Words of expression fill every line
They flow beyond an unmeasurable depth
Or soar above the highest cloud
Every thought is defined
Some sing to you sweetly
Others strike your heart strings like keys upon a piano
Questions of love and life are asked or even answered
Joy and peace sometimes can be found within the same body
Because pain, anger, and strife are all written
Experience ingrained into the paper, directly from life
Diversity found
Thoughts lost
Sometimes in between the lines hidden messages can be found
Like a story it may have a theme
Each one with unique characters and scene
Conflicts are played out or worked out
Like a film written and shown within your mind
Life through words
As powerful as they can be
Used with strength and a sense of compassion
You truly never know what you may feel or see
So take a moment or two
Let your eyes fall over the next poem your feet come upon
Because you may come to realize that its more than just some words printed upon the page
Maybe you will realize that sometimes we are not meant to fit into tiny little labeled boxes
Maybe the true fact is, that we need to simply build a bigger box to exist within
Or maybe, we don't even need to be defined or held within a perfectly labeled box at all.
