Poetic Power

I can't express how much I love the power of words... The ability to fuze words together to make you time travel if only for that moment.

Yesterday I posted a poem written by eswaller, and it was nothing less than magnificent. I thoroughly enjoy his poems. Matter of fact I enjoy poetry in all forms.

I have been patiently waiting to go to an open mic poetry night, and thankfully my friend is going to take me in the next couple weeks. I will have so much to say about that event, and i'm eager to share my experience that night with you all.

This poem was written by eswaller, and it was published January 2 of 2018. I hope you all enjoy it.

Here In Heaven

Your presence feels like heaven and peace.
You open your arms wide to let me into
Your safe haven and kingdom. You cease
All wars and battles. I am grateful for you,
A place to go when I need to rest and heal.
Your eyes, like looking into calm waters
And deep oceans. You make it easy to peel
Back all of the layers. We are daughters
And sons of you, wise one. We have tread
In your waters and explored your luscious
Land. Everything that was dry and dead
Has been revived. All of the paintbrushes
Used to create clouds and stars that scatter
Across the sky. None of it will truly matter
As the sunlight shines brighter on most days.
You will forever be in my grace and praise.
