Why a Poet #3

You say there’s pain in my poetry

I say there’s poetry in all pain.

You say there’s a sadness in my smile

I say I could find a smile in even sadness.

You say there is darkness in my light

I say there’s light in every darkness.

You say I walk without a care

I say,

I care.

I take all the pain, sadness, darkness and light

And open my arms to make it mine

Then do my utmost to make it rhyme

Even though I may miss a line

The poet in me will still shine.
