"INSPIRATION"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know why poets write their lines.
It is to inspire,
to reach
the
unlit
places
in forgotten
territories
of the soul.

I know why poets write their lines.
It is to inspire,
to reach
the
broken
slivers
of shattered dreams
and connect them
with their own.

I know why poets write their lines.
It is to inspire,
to reach
the
lonely,
unloved
people they once
were and say they
understand.

I know why poets write their lines.
It is to inspire,
to reach
the
inner
beauty
hidden from view
and encourage
it to grow.
