Thesis ~ Thursday, 7 May 2020

What is the point of writing poetry, 
how we convey our thoughts and reflections, 
as we look back on our experience,  
the ideas that influence character, 

in a nutshell, we are born in a time, 
stuck within the horizon of vision, 

the space we conceive we fill with matter, 
how important these things that fill our days, 
emptiness or clutter is aesthetics, 

people want to read stories, long or short, 
ordered by a creative mind, makers 
in artistic endeavors to achieve 
notable success with their audience, 
to take the reader to another world, 

of writing, whether in prose or in verse, 
frames the reader's mind by its appearance, 

we aspire to express meaning in life, 
real experience from our point of view, 
in this way, a context to perspective 
treats the reader to the inner workings 
in the mind of the author, the writer 
necessarily invites the reader, 
grants her access into her own insights, 

poetry oftentimes fulfils a goal, 
of striving towards an end, to attain 
everlasting memory in the minds 
to come, in readers unknown in our time, 
real life moves faster than light, as we know 
yesterday will never return again.
