A Poet’s Blessing

Speak to me of our life’s experience
Sing me this song powerful and fearless
Tell me of truths I can not speak yet want to believe

Show me how to breathe between realities of illusions and uncertainties
And I will trust you to move the world with words
Into a sanctuary of balance and brilliant possibilities

Take me to a place where whispers are still roaring
And poetry lives to feed the hope that our stories are only just beginning
