Poetry is what I see,
I touch, I smell, I taste,
I hear.
It is what I
See in the sunset,
Hear through the breeze, Smell in a flower.
It is the soul's Yearning to articulate in words Sans hesitancy or fear.
It is the radiance Of the sun and the contagious Sound of laughter.
The warm memories
Preserved and repressed
Through tears.
