Why do I need a poetry class to do what’s in my heart?
Why do I need permission to write when the environment nurtures
my art?
Why do I look for inspiration when I have it within?
Why did I travel the world to search for my gift to find laughter
in my eyes?
Why did I return to you when all I needed was me?
Why did i proclaim possession of my soul when all I really needed
was to simply be.

    Maria, I love the way your questions pour in the most thoughtful and introspective phrasing. Your very intospective soul-searching is poised in beauty. Welcome to Expats Poetry!
