Poets are Trees
9/8/2012 3:20:48 PM

Near a barren tree my mind drifts

the tree becomes a part of me

each branch a decade of my life, each leaf, a hope desired or as it falls

lost forever. As poets we deal each day with the temptation of wanting to impress others

we become dealers of Hope

visionaries of what could be, carving through what others consider a jumble of words, phrases, thoughts and creating a Monet of sight for the eyes and when spoken....

of sound that can inspire and move others in profound ways. We are dead when we think we are living. We start living when we die to our own demands and deaf to anyone who wants us to write a certain way or become the Lover they want to know.

We inhabit dreams, walking through enchanted forests, touching windmills in our minds and every tree can be an idea or a philosophy to spark our imaginations...

It is said in fables that an Alchemist could turn metal into Gold. A poet can turn ordinary words into a work of beauty and even inspire a nation to take action. In my daily life on and off the Internet,I meet people who are trees...whispering silently in the cold indifference as people raise their eyes when they hear the word" Poetry"

A Poet strong like a tree will allow the waves of emotion to wash over them, making each of us stronger,words forming as if by Lightning...the Spirit of many waters near us,lying in the arms of Angels, as we

silently

write.................
