You remain unseen,
Through these words you write hopes and dreams
holding fast as you capture the lights,
The emotions spring like broken-winged birds,
Who continue to fight.

Destined to one day be noticed,
You continue on through these songs,
Because one day your dream,
shall be overcome,
Proving all those seen,
As you dance to the lucid melody,
And gracefully spread to the light's energy,’

Poetry you shall not go,
Please do not, though these words are foreign to most,
A dream is what you notion,
Like a scarf for which keeps you warm.
You surround us with such emotion,

As I fly towards hope, I look back and snap,
The pen that I once saw splits in half,
The paper I once knew, erases itself,
And the emotions on the page are lost in time,
I wake from this dream and collapse,
The words that I once knew,
shall never come back.

Hmm...Decided to write a poem, about poetry, that’s some kind of inception right there,
It kinda reminds me...of a dream...comment, upvote and follow for more ! :)
