ESSENCE OF POETRY

Every single time life cuts you down

it makes you bleed droplets of permanent ink

spilling out onto an empty white canvas

fertilizing that which has no physical form

blooming into hurtful words left long unspoken

transferring from a troubled mind to a blank page

setting you free of your grief and rage

one anguished letter at a time

an antidote for a sicknesses with no cure

that is the essence of poetry.
