Poetry is life

Between sunrise and sunset poetry fills my mind
every dream of mine a poem you will find

I will not sleep unless I read a poem in the night
every breathe of mine I look for a new light

My grave must be stacked with poems up to my throat
it is symbolic to my faith to see them in the waves float

with every drop of blood I find a new line of hope
to share the message of courage and help others cope

my whole future depends on what the mind will create
where I share my words of inspiration whatever it take

hidden under the shadows below the footprints I leave
are the treasure of wisdom for others to believe

from my doorsteps the stream of poetry flow
to form shapes of mirages hidden in it's glow.
