POETRY

by Dikachi Mann

What is this strange thing that rattles me so

That summons my emotions amidst my secure walls

This force that silently tears down my age-long barriers

Unseemly in its force, yet so powerful

Refreshing as virgin spring waters

Yet as harsh as the arid desert wind

This force of words

Just words

Unbridled, wild and colorful

What is this?

Surely, this must be the life force of the gods

Entwining destinies as their tales unfold

Of things to come, that are and are to be

This is surely……..POETRY!
