The Sea of Poetry

by: Christina Lloyd

Poetry is the beaming light that frees you from the dark, dreary tunnel

Poetry is the dainty petal from a beautiful spring flower floating adrift on the wings of time

Poetry is calm and beautiful river full of life!

Yet poetry can also be a dangerous storm at sea

that assaults our mind with crashing waves

leaving our minds in a haze

Poetry is a night thief

that takes your emotions on a wild goose chase

leading you into a maze of mysterious worlds

never before explored…

Poetry leaves you raw.

It takes all your expectations to a whole new high

that leaves you breathless with a mind forever reeling from unanswered questions…

Poetry is the sweet salvation from your inner turmoil…
