I turned the page, and now I see how a song, story or rhyme can illuminate
For a single line from poetry, can inspire a brighter day of brighter health, both physical and mental
For a sketch, a day or a collage or three will be my credential
To be left without a hobby and art would be a day I would truly hate
So I will find my place in the books they illustrate
If I build others up, then I will reach my potential
I turned the page, and now I see how a song, story or rhyme can illuminate
For a single line from poetry, can inspire a brighter day of brighter health, both physical and mental
It became a part of who I am, and so I will create
I find quiet courage, as I change a landscape with each stencil
I speak as freely now as the lines they drew with every artist's pencil
Because it is the words from poems that I want to celebrate
I turned the page, and now I see how a song, story or rhyme can illuminate
For a single line from poetry, can inspire a brighter day of brighter health, both physical and mental.

'Bright' was previously published on a local, positive news magazine The Happy Hood.
