Unnamed Reason
Location
Poetry journeyed to me on trails of my mother's passion
A forgotten cause, scooped from the depths of memory like an ancient treasure found in the dark water of a bog
A gem, amidst everything that would hide it from the untrained eye
Expressed in leaves of grass, or a slave's demand for greater purpose
Or a simple description of one's surroundings
Or the attempt at expressing clentched feelings for a lossed loved one
Poetry is the cause
Reason? Perhaps there is none, for poetry is only my expression
A hard life, described in soft words
A tragic secret, vaguely hinted at for those who search
That is what poetry means to me
