Analysis of The Truth Of Poetry.



As confirmed during its history
Poetry has a mystical basis
In truth thee mystical basis
Who is Our Creator.

Thus, the art is a way of
Healing- that is God healing
Us through poetry as human
History has confirmed.

A truth which may not be
Known to many and rejected
By others but one can gather
From one’s personal journey.

A fruit which I share with others
As my decades of this life
Has confirmed
For me.
