Poetry is Permanent

I wish it was so easy to date as easy as reading poetry and staying up late

Its such a different night and day

Before I turned 40 I was wild

Out with the girls at the club  dancing away on the search for true love to find

Sweet kisses came and went

Yet poetry is permanent.

I saw Carrie and her dude eating Indian food

Watching them revel in very spicy curry made me hunger in a hurry

In my young days I was a suicidal child

Grown now like a daffodil so wild

I am untamed

I will never be bound by a cage

It may hold me for a time

Each day God wakes me up and assures me I can still fly

These days  my focus is not be so whirlwind

Though I still have that ADD brain

I kissed the flame

The burn came and went

Yet poetry is permanent.

I enjoyed the wandering thoughts here butterfly and do concur, that at least for me, poetry is permanent. As permanent as my morning cuppa and my daily pottering in my garden. Wouldn't be without it.
