I often feel being a poet is a blessing.
For the mere act of writing poetry heals in empowering ways.
Lighting and delighting hearts,
in between the verses in awareness.
Poetry breathes in many possibilities.
A piece of poetry
speaks much about the soul & spirit of the poet.
Discard the thought away that it’s just so frivolous.
Discount not poets for being just a poet
There is much that is yet to be discovered and harnessed.

For the words emerge
to form a poem from a place of sensing & seeing more than what is.

I do believe more
Poets need to be hired
Not just as skilled wordsmiths
But for the tact and strategy,
if not for routine work.
For there is great innovation in their imagination too.
As they artfully build an imagery through mere words.
As for verses, poet emote in their unique way
At times structured and solid
At times lyrical and fluid
there is often a rhythm and reason as well.
Oh yes, add attention to detail & seeing beyond the looking.
And you have a potential worth exploring.
Poets are by far undervalued for their observation
But here is the truth.
Poetry is an art
Of expressing emotions
Through impactful verses
Mere words touch hearts
When words flow from a place of authenticity.
Of speaking with all of you as it flows from deep within.
There is the power in the very vulnerability laid bare fearlessly.
And that is a powerful concoction.
Would you agree?
What do you think now of a poet ?
