— Life is Poetry—

It has been said
that heartache…
is the root
of all poetry…

But the truth is—
love is the soul
of poetry…

Every line
is first written
on the walls of a soul…
before
it ever meets ink.

Love brings
emotion and wisdom…
Pain brings
sorrow and regret…

Once written,
neither are forgotten.

Remember…
to be blind
is not just
not to see…

Poetry is felt…
written and heard…
through love or pain.

Life is poetry.

Paul Baldry (LongJohn)

My reflection on where poetry truly begins—etched in the soul before it ever meets the page. Shaped by love, pain and the worries of life, every word carries a piece of who we are.
