The world is a canvas

Paint on it what you will

Write on it what you must

But it will always remain

Through every hardship

And every stain

The world shows us

The power we can gain

We gain it through word

A written art form

That when put in words

Can crush the soul

Or lessen it’s burden

Can heal a heart

Or re-brake it

Can help through hardship

Or help through ease

Poetry moves through us

Like music through an instrument

It guides us

It helps us

It supports us

It teaches us

We live with poetry all around us

We live with poetry in us

We live, and poetry is there to guide us
