Poetry Set Me Free Poem by Okim Otu

When I'm restless,
I write
And what I write when I'm restless
Proceeds with absolute beauty
And the splendour a palace.

When I'm restless,
I write
And what I write when I'm restless
Brightens my mind and leaps my spirit to heavenly places
Where joy and serenity resides.

What I write when I'm restless
Flows freely with the ease of a river
Effortless, through gullies and hills
Carrying along it messages of peace
Even to alien territories.

Poetry set me free from chains of restlessness,
Because when I'm restless
I write poetry
And it brings me peace.
