I DRAW
by Madene Walker

I draw to express the beauty I see all around
both in the majestic air and the powerful ground.
I draw to share the joy that flows through my soul
and radiates through my pen and keeps me whole.
I draw to escape an environment filled with fears,
that would keep me trapped in anger and tears.
I draw to release memories that would keep me stuck
In thought patterns that bring me only morbid luck.
I draw to clarify emotions and dreams deep inside
that both haunt and drive me, but their meanings hide.
I draw to put solid expression to my hopes and dreams
so, I can plan how to fulfill them with glorious beams.
