You and I
Breathing the same pious air
Smelling the same scent of earth
Noting the beautiful words
that spill effortlessly upon our souls each morning
We read the blogs
and block out the news
Scanning for the remnants of simplicity that
Weave their way into our lives
Poetry steals the sadness from our hearts
Prose leaves us aching for more
The power of words form
Crosswords and sonnets
Novelas and essays
Books upon books
Shelves upon shelves
You and I,
Although worlds apart
Seek the same goal
Knowledge
and
Freedom
Words of wisdom
to give us peace
in this chaotic place

I loved this:
"Poetry steals the sadness from our hearts Prose leaves us aching for more"
When I am feeling sad, I always seem to reach for Dorothy Parker.
Her acerbic wit always seems to pull me out of the blackness.
To all,
Thank you for all your thoughts! I wrote this for all the bloggers that find refuge in writing.
Jyotsana-that includes you :-) For without you all (and your words of poetry and prose), I would be lost!
