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.
