A Poet

A Poet A poet takes the time to think the unthinkable Using just the right words to make people aware They set emotions to fight the good fight They make people understand others differences A poet can end the needless deaths of a war They can show the pain behind a child’s tears They can use imagery to show what cannot be seen Their words can make a small flower seem like the entire world And make the whole world seem like a pretty flower A poet can share Heaven and they can create a Hell They can make people see the beauty in a passing cloud They can hear the music of a breeze travelling down a wooded valley Their words can show even the purest form of love A poet writes not for money or fame They write because they feel a passion others cannot understand They write to share their feelings and thoughts A poet writes because it is in their nature A God given blessing that they cannot, will not ignore They just hope that someone will read their work And they will, even for a moment take time to think Maybe remember how wonderful the world and her beauty is If they do a poet will smile and their purpose will be achieved That is all a poet will ever ask
