The Poet





Feelings,

Scattered all around,

Are no more than lonely beads

That shine on us but have no bound

Until a poet does come along

And gather them in a song,

That stirs the pulse in the cloud,

Thus making it a heavenly mold

Of a lovely piece of art

For the body, and the heart,

Or is it not as fair to say:

A Poem is a piece of heart?



A poet is a lonely soul

That has within, the mighty world

Dismantled in the haze,

But seems to be the golden cord

That fills the beads in a phrase

To help the world fulfill the goal!



No one can dream of one to know

How this mysterious task is done

Unless the soul can feel it’s ONE

With all that breathes in the air!

For that will not be right or fair

Until it bathes in the snow

And feels the coolness in the Sun,

And in the purity of the dew,

It faces none that is untrue!
