It Can Be Poetry

It Can Be Poetry

---

It can be a song of a soul
A cooling breath to touch the wound
It can be the tears lingering in a voice
Not all the tears are the tears of the eyes
It can be a soft whisper of the heart
Rising from its sadness trance
Bravely voicing its within
Breaking the silence that it was in
It can be laughter of a soul
Freeing the child that was held inside
Playing to its heart content
All innocents, yet living beyond restriction lines
Its can be just poetry
Poetry that fills the air
