Poetry is reminiscing about a
past painted in watercolors
and light

Poetry is the secret hidden 
in plain sight

Poetry is love that
sits unrequited

Poetry is trapping 
nightmares in amber

Poetry is the doorway 
to conversations with ourselves

Poetry is the freshly dug grave 
for what is difficult to bury

Poetry is the embodiment 
of dreams

Poetry is the riverbed 
where tears become a torrent

Poetry is whispered prayers 
that would otherwise be silent
