And So I Write


Words fall
like November rain
washing away sediments of
yesterday's pain

Complementary stanzas
find personification
and each verse feels like
a dose of morphine
easing the transition from
past to present

The essence of tribulations linger like
a frost bitten pine tree
each syllable written reeks of therapy
living to let go
and letting go to live
composition sustains
as the pendulum sways

The anchor of my destiny
has always been the comfort of
poetry
So I
write
with ferocity
conceive with love
and believe in
the possibilities
that I create
within my soul
