A POEM

A poem is a cascade of pearly words
Flowing through the river of life
Mingling with the souls of humans
Describing their woeful pains
And voicing their cherished desires

A poem is the expression of flowering dreams
Rising from the earth in a lamentable world
Bringing fresh color to life
Ridding the world of deplorable misery
And silently dispelling the smell of despair

A poem is the flamboyant actor on stage
Showing off its many faces and colors
Giving the audience food for thought
Leaving them with questions answerable
While telling a tale of a thousand adventures

A poem is the messenger of natural forces
Rejuvenating the future of different courses
Resuscitating present circumstances
Redeeming past occurrences
While resurrecting inspirational yearnings
