Bleed The Ink

My poem dedicated to Courtney. It's an older one, but I still love it. You're awesome Courtney. http://www.writerscafe.org/OliveMistCradle

Pen to the paper

Let the ink bleed

Emotions not flowing,

let yourself be freed

~*~
Feel your heart cry

and let the tears out.

Not through a knife,

but instead through the ink

in a whisper or shout

~*~

Breathe in the music

Dance in the hope

Put down the knife

Write down your heart,

a new way to cope

~*~

Ink dotting paper

Flowing like tears

Release all the pain,

from the past few years

~*~

The words will save

Now free, flying high

Forgetting the pain

Gravity, you shall defy

~*~

The depression shows

Words that release you,

bring hope to others.

And as the future unfolds,

many lives you will rescue

~*~

A savior to all

Showing off hope

A light in the dark,

you are the brightest

You'll make your mark

~*~

Protect with your umbrella

Breathe the oxygen

Be the safe harbor,

for the lost, the broken

The hopeful world warrior

~*~

The scribbles on paper,

uniquely shine through

Create the best dream

The world, you'll renew

~*~

Keep saving the world

You'll be the difference

An angel in the making

Show us your brilliance

I remember! It brought tears and a smile. I love the whole title concept. I use it every day in practice preach by example lead, blood ink bleeding paper.
