Stay Close to Your Poetry Home

Words to Tanjanyika S. Sifuentes

Poetry to me
Is so a part of me
If it did cease to be
I think that also me
Would not know what to do
And so I say to you
It’s in your blood and soul
And now that I am old
I learned to never say
Cause NEVER is not the way
So what I’ll say to you
Is just step back a few
Yes few steps till you clear
But do stay close to hear
What things these poets say
And I’m sure you’ll be back one day
