Poetry Can Heal

Robert Gold 2006 (Wisconsin)

Poetry can heal
It can bring light
Into a world
Of complete darkness

Poetry is like
A never-ending supply of water
In the midst of a desert

Poetry is pure
It can rid this world
Of all wrong
And help those
Left with scars

Poetry is peaceful
Yet powerful
Able of influencing
Even the most stubborn minds
