Escape Into Poetry Poem by Deborah Bonner

Have you ever thought about, letting it out? Turning everything, situations, relationships, tragedies, desires, secrets not shared. Reaching! Into deep, deep, deep dark places on the inside of our innermost being and speaking from the soul. Reaching for the unique one locked up in the crevices of the heart and mind. Breaking every chain, which locks and confines our daily lives. There are times in life we may feel our lives are in glass bubbles and that we are on the inside looking out at everything happening around us, above and beyond our means.


This is the outlet, the form of painting an exact picture of life as one sees it. Experiences of the mind transforming them into wonders of light. Expressions of knowledge of total freedom from danger and darkness. Always giving a way of escape and coming into God's open gates! The divine harmony of knowing I have somewhere to flee. In poetry you see all that could and should be!


Expressing all emotions, devotions, heartbreaks, heartaches into a battle cry of freedom from behind a wall of guilt and shame! Turning every situation in one's life into poetry, freeing the very essence the world of creativity locked within. That's the harmonious music that synchronizes every note of life's journey and releases treasures from the heart! This is where you can go and let it all hang out. Letting the pieces of the puzzle connect together your way so the inner healing can begin!
