Poetry on Poems
An art is the best medicine
 For it imparts the heart on a journey
 Through mediums known all to well
 And my medium I know best, comes from the deepest well
 
 A poets song comes from the heart
 Sparked by the soul
 Inspired by the hole to be filled
 And so to be healed
 
 For to relate words to paper
 That come from great danger
 Is to cleanse the soul
 And rid the anger
 
 From the hollows of the soul
 Comes the sorrow and woe
 Sewn to be and never cease
 But poetry fills the least
 
 And when the soul turns green
 Fills with envy
 And almost bursts at the seams
 Poetry is there to redeem
 
 Lastly when the soul is full of disgust
 Let the poem be there to trust
 For it must be the best listener
 To truly clean the rust off the hardened heart and glisten

I've also been greatly inspired by dialogues of Socrates having conversation with Menon and Ion, before reading these I really had no clue what philosophy was, and now I do.
