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

Poetry is manifesting wings
so feelings can fly free

Poetry is art born from the 
skillful sculpting of words

Poetry is reclaiming the voice 
from fear, doubt, and shame
