Poetry Is Everything

Poetry is like a language
we become familiar with
over time, letting words
emerge on paper and fill
the blank spaces, leaving
room for thoughts to
expand and blossom into
something beautiful and
sweet like when flowers
attract bees and poetry is
essential like the oxygen
we breathe in every
minute of every day, that
is what poetry is as we let
it take us to a place a lot
of us are calling home.
