Poetry for the soul

Poetry is like a friend, 
Always listening,
Always supporting.
Poetry can hold you when you are feeling low, 
Like the world is at your back,
Like you are in a cage.
Poetry paints the best of pictures,
Perhaps a portait of the human soul,
Perhaps something more. 
Poetry is a window, 
Showing you something you never knew, 
Showing you something you need to know,
Poetry is good for the soul, 
Always nurturing, 
Always nurturing.
