AWAKEN POET

He writes with a keen awareness Exploring themes of enlightenment Carving out a path of social conscience As he crafts his own experience. He is an awakened poet, Battling emotions, both fierce and soft. With each verse, he finds a quiet peace— Peace with the world and its restless pulse. He writes not for approval For he believes poetry is like the shade Of a great, sprawling tree— You never know when it will set you free. He cherishes solitude For in his loneliness, he finds peace. Yet, he seeks to inspire others For in their joy, he discovers his own.
