What is a poem?
A lilting of words?
An image of voices
forever unheard?
What's this picture of symbols
all ordered in lines?
What's this rare combination?
Did it take her much time?
What makes the pattern
or rhyme start to flow?
What sets it apart
from the prose or the scroll?
Is it empathy recalling
some rose-tinted dream?
Maybe it's laced in darkness
the vile or obscene?
What is a poem?
Some words written with tone?
What are these lyrics
Sung straight from my bones?

We need to be and not have
We need to be who we are
Even as nature made us
Be happy at any time
Know write all your feelings
Be sure of its decisions, words and omissions
Be own woman
Be sure of herself
Know that every time you need ... to live, then live
The sun rises every day is a new day, so whoever you want, live as if it were the last
Have friends, people around that pleases you, that you pass the same reciprocal affection
Keep books, this is a great tool for your mind
Get real life, not virtual
Has everything and nothing at the same time.
