I’m Proud of my Poet Friends
recognizing our similar themes,
as we write out the dirt and the dark,
we are tethered to justice and dreams,
where each line can ignite a fresh spark.
oh, the healing these brave voices bring,
for the the heavy things life has to send;
thank the poets who stand there and sing,
they are making us whole in the end.
