I Am Not the Poet

I am not the poet


I am not the poet
I am not telling a story
I am not putting pictures out there
Less than that, I am trembling
Trembling with words- babbling
Babbling in my uneducated brain

I don’t know how to call it
Song or prose, psalm or prayer
I have no story to tell
I have no word to say

You are silent
I am in silence
am not the poet,
I am not a poetry maker.

Thanks for sharing this. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
