A Clean Slate

My Therapy
To date, 160 poems have been scheduled on my blog,
I’ve written about everything, from a rainstorm to a frog,
I appreciate your following my writing collection,
Mostly whimsical, sometimes serious, not nearly perfection,
But these poems have helped me clear my head,
It’s therapy to create with words instead,
No crafting, sewing or flower arranging compares,
To putting thoughts on paper in rhyming pairs,
Although some days feel blank, no words will emerge,
I sit down at the keyboard and then begin to purge,
It pours out of my fingertips, in ways I can’t explain,
Sometimes writing of joy and sometimes of pain,
It is a cleansing-type of feeling to get thoughts recorded,
Like a clean slate: cluttered-free, organized and sorted,
Like my mind is free to think some more,
My memory space has been cleared, like never before,
It is refreshing for me to sit still and write,
It’s the light in the darkness, it makes the dimness bright,
It gives my heart glee and makes my spirit awaken,
Thanks for coming along with me on this journey I have taken.
