Echoes of Eternity. Poetry matters.



In realms of words, where art takes flight,
A tapestry of thoughts, both dark and bright,
There lies a realm where hearts can soar,
A sanctuary of emotions, forevermore.

For poetry holds the power to ignite,
The dormant embers within our sight,
It weaves enchantment through each line,
Unveiling truths, both subtle and divine.

In rhymes and rhythms, it finds its voice,
A symphony of words that rejoice,
Expressing joy, grief, love, and pain,
Poetry dances, unbound by any chain.

It speaks of dreams, both wild and grand,
And whispers secrets of a distant land,
It captures moments, frozen in time,
Etches memories, preserving them sublime.

Through metaphor’s lens, it reveals the unseen,
Unfolding vistas, where minds convene,
Transcending barriers, it bridges divides,
Connecting souls, where empathy resides.

In verses crafted, emotions take flight,
Giving solace in the darkest of night,
It stirs the depths of the human soul,
Awakening hearts, making us whole.

For poetry matters, as it reflects our core,
Unveiling truths we may have ignored,
It celebrates the beauty of the human heart,
And kindles flames that never depart.

So let us cherish this timeless art,
Let its essence seep into every part,
For in its verses, we find our own voice,
And discover the world, both vast and choice.

In a realm of words, where wonders abound,
Poetry matters; let its magic resound,
For through its verses, we truly see,
The depth, the breadth, of our humanity.
