Poem: The Power of Poetry

Let your truth speak,
Reflecting more within
than the sun off the stream.
Moving mountains
without pushing,
Flowing thoughts
without speaking,
Crossing water
without swimming.
Formation of lines,
Running across the page,
Faster than lightning,
Intentional as a choice.
Speaks from the soul,
Without sound produced,
Flies as high as superman,
Saving the heart from sorrow.
Giving reason
without trial,
Warmth
without fire,
Fondness
without absence,
Giving
without charity,
Flight
without wings
Power
without tyranny.
Poetry.
