Poetry And Song

Poetry comes from my pain my sadness
My happiness my joy
Song comes from the love in my heart
And I’m always singing for you

Poetry reads telling tales of my thoughts
Questions unanswered puzzles to solve
Songs are written predetermined
But fit the situation

Poetry calms me when nothing else will
When nothing can set my mind free
Songs elate me sooth me console me
Keep me smiling when nothing else will

Poetry speaks volumes and shelves
Speaks of things not easily said
Songs move mountains and oceans
Of emotion within the heart

Poetry is inspired coming from nature
Into life from pen to paper
Songs inspire and invoke thought
Conjure memories of long forgotten ideas

Poetry and song both keep me
Both hold me and comfort me
Both come from with in me,
And are of me.
