The river of words

A poem is a river of words  

That leads me to the sea 

The words make me feel like a bird 

Because with these words I am flying free 

Free as the wind, free as the bees 

Free as the wild horses roaming the great plains without a care 

These words set my ideas in motion 

Because with these words I can say anything I dare 

These words are a key to unlock the hidden emotions 

The hidden thoughts, and notions 

That has been lying asleep inside of me 

lying like a sleeping dragon  

 Protecting its gems in sets of three 

  Inside of the wagon 

With a garden of snapdragons 

And with these words, I am finally free 

My thoughts can fly out onto the paper 

And fill the page like vapor 

Collecting the leaves of the trees

 A way to let my emotions be free

This is what poems are to me
