Heart of a Poet
46My Views
I love to share my creative writing and poetry with others and am happy to have this chance to share what is in my heart. :)
True Friend
I smile now and laugh more than
I’ve ever laughed in my recollection.
I dance now, I sing now
And now in great reflection
Had disallowed myself these things
To these in shame I bowed
From cloudy mind to crisp and clear
I now stand in this I’m now.
I hold my head up high now.
I see my self in beauty.
I look into my eyes now
And I feel a sense of duty.
Unto myself be true now,
Unto myself be wise.
Although I feel within me
This I know she cries.
The cries now lessen more and more
And the days do pass
From mournful sorrow they emerge
Like dew upon the grass
You’ve brought the poet in me out
And as time does tell
You’ve brought my joy within me out
And in my heart as well.

Thank you so much Holly:)
Your encoragement means alot to me. I love writing. In fact, I suppose it is my first love other than my family and those whom I consider as such. I must also thank you for introducing me to the 'Hub'. Perhaps I will find more inspiration as I flip through its 'pages'.
Many Hugs!
