Why Poetry
Rodneyc//12
Where God and we meet
When time and space stand still
If reality and dreams became one
Since love and life are all
That matters
Why poetry
Because you and I are different
Determination yet to unfold
Joy and sadness
Passions dictating this rhythm
Love in harmony is
Why Poetry
Smiles and tears mingled
Between this now and that then
Past reflections and future happenstance
Moments paved between words
Carved from solid chunks of my soul
Why Poetry
It is so therefore I am
It lives therefo! re I dream
It breathes therefore I see
It touches therefore I am connected
It lingers past the moment and I am free
Why Poetry
Why Not!
