A Poet Who Has Touched Me
A Poet Who Has Touched Me
Can a poet be known
of poetry alone?
Am I blind to him other
than what is revealed
in a world self-made
of fiction or reality?
This man I know
only through that
which is the poetry of
his soul.
Whether I know him or not,
he has only what God gives him.
Right now God promises him less
and lets my own end be blessedly unknown.
I cannot make sense
of dying around me
Nor of my own whenever
that should be.
I know only too well
it will be.
Kathryn McL. Collins
this was written for a poet friend who died not long after the poem was written.
