Saved by poetry



Poetry the driving force towards one’s sanity that calmed the soul during the catastrophe

Unexpressed bottled up emotions conveyed into words in form of poet one’s passion
 
Poetry brought into life in form of art with indescribable passion and uncanny creativity

In a time of demand and desperation poetry being there without a doubt nor disinclination

Poetry the refuge the soul needed as it shielded the soul from the chaos and the madness

A form of release and therapy with the words wrote down that gave one peace and clarity

Poetry that gave one life whilst it being lifeless and drained without batteries re-energized

Degeneration of the passion rejuvenated with aspiration and self- confidence with energy

Liberating freeing despite the excruciating overwhelming tension being in the midst of air

Soul form of release it being the light despite the ongoing and tragedies that were present

A world unknown to others but sentimental to one that saved the soul from being ruptured

A world that held a sentimental importance as it brought in pure happiness and bliss within

That fed the soul with words of comfort and hence arose inspiration to the words inscribed

It nourished the soul that withered and slowly fading revitalizing it with strength to survive

Poetry that turned calamities and the agony to an astonishing ground-breaking masterpiece

The words raw written with passion described eloquently detailed with a vivid imagination

Imagination drawn away from the madness and balanced it with rationality and steadiness

Steadiness long yearned and craved that was non existent there being different atmosphere

A dusky atmosphere that drained the soul and dulled the sparkle and charm of personality

Poetry to the rescue that outshone the darkness filling it with glimmer of sparkle and light

Antidote to the sadness that lingered as it gave soul confidence and purpose to overcome

A treasure most prized possession it being valuable that the heart held dear and profoundly

The voice that flowed from within with bravery and provocation that stemmed from poetry

Poetry the energy source that revived and restored the identity that was buried from residues
