Poetry

I've seen her stand

I've seen her fight

I've seen her dream

At first light

I've seen the hope

She's placed in me

This girl we know

As Poetry

 

I've heard her speak

I've heard her cry

I've heard her laugh

And question why

I've heard her call

To slave and free

This girl we know

As Poetry

 

I've seen her bruised

I've seen her drained

I've seen her broken

And tear stained

In the essence of circles

She's stood with me

This girl we know

As Poetry

 

I've seen her beg

I've seen her plead

I've seen her argue

And concede

I've seen her reach

To turn a key

This girl we know

As Poetry

 

I've seen her vibrant

I've seen her grace

I've seen her shine

In that dark place

I've heard her whisper

"All will be free"

This girl we know

As Poetry

 

I've seen the bond

And know its power

I've felt its strength

In the darkest hour

In the midst of storms

She's soothed the sea

This girl we know

As Poetry

 

I've seen her watch

I've seen her wait

I've seen her calm

And contemplate

I've seen her inspire

Those after me

This girl we know

As Poetry

 

I've seen her part

In the scheme of things

In this age

Of visions and dreams

As she calls to all

To write what they see

This girl we know

As Poetry

Im highly, highly impressed... it was silken butter all the way through.
that was a very creative telling of "her"... we know as poetry
vibrantly descriptive... really nice write..

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

a beautiful and creative fleshing out of the literary form that speaks to something essential and deep inside all of humanity~
