A Desire To Share My Poetry With Others

It happened by coincidence that I stumbled upon this site, and ever since I followed that light: there was a desire to share my poetry with others. This poet is a dreamer with a realistic vision, not truly appreciated as other genre writers; and it isn't money, or fame I am after, merely admirers... it's an urge that must be expressed without pretension. If my income depended on the craft of poetry writing, I would surely starve as many have and still do today, and in my spare time, I step into a fantasy world and write away; I pick any subject that tackles my fancy...while many are sleeping. Is this passion a need to fill a void into my righteous soul, or something I was called to do by His supreme will? Looking back to History, He chose prophets to deliver those messages by word of mouth or sacred writings like those of Hosea and Moses.... am I also chosen by Him to convey His thoughts of sorrows and delights? I reflect on this often and realize it is an awesome gift I should highly prize! I have been immensely moved and inspired by the support and kindness that this friendly community has offered me, welcoming me with open arms; I have done the same, being thankful and appreciative of their mindfulness: let's keep a lasting relationship...reading and praising each other poems!
