Who Is the Poet

Who is the poet? the one who writes? the clever use of words or rythm? I say it is none of these It is a deeper perception of life An expression of emotions reaching deeper than most make the reader feel something make me cry, make me happy hurt me, make me ponder share it with me, let me burden it maybe i feel it too show me how i feel share it together we are all alone until we feel it together in that moment art is born a unity of hearts reaching out and feeling it we are one for a moment the pain, the love, the lonliness we all just want others to feel us we are not alone when we feel it together

Poetic expressions are from the interior of one's soul... my philosophy in life is to put God first in everything before I tackle an issue or problem.. trying to give the many readers on soup who like spiritual poetry reflections something to think about on this holy day when Jesus was born... I write on many themes.. I appreciate your comments and as a new poet on Soup I welcome u and look forward to reading your poetry also... if u return to this poem after others have commented u will see...

Are you in pain that you need to share--well post it on soup and we'll be there--we probably can top it with pain deep within--read some of my tearjerkers then you'll just begin. Sara
