A Poem Can Free You

A Poem 

A Poem can set you free
Can give you wings
Can raise you to the light
Can make you see
Learn to hold on to a little poem, a little song
follow it wherever it takes you
in your dreams

A Poem has the quality of a prayer
That you gently recite 
Say to yourself
Listen to a poem and what it sings
--A seed will in the dark
Obey the tree
