A poem I wrote several years ago "Box of Pages"

[Lilac22407]

Here is one of my own poems from several years ago.

It used to run thru me like a rapid moving stream

Turning any nightmare into a dream

It was the turning of feelings into pages of words

But they never listened, they never heard

It was I in those pages, buried deep in that box

Some of it hidden, now some of it lost

The gift of writing is given to few, some understand, so never do

I used to write them all the time. Sometimes even giving them music. But after my life got hard they all started to get quite depressing so I stopped. I guess I should have written myself straight thru it all but I didn't.

I'd say you have a gift with words. This is lovely. Sometimes the only time you can put pen to paper is during times of deep stress, so don't let it stop you now. I'd like to read more Lilac.
