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.
