Poems are often stories
written in disguise

Often steeped in truth
or observation in our lives

Often merely characters
our minds writing lies

Like how an actor works
a complete change of eyes

So read these words with wonder
where does our captain go

This ship of words shall sail us
upon a sea of thoughts and glows

To a dock of divergent thinking
from within our writer’s lobes

And will then cast off the reader
on ocean smiles or seas of woes
