Only a Poet

Only A Poet…
  can change feelings into air,
  birthing new memory

Only A Poet…
  can transform night into day,
  lighting our spirits

Only A Poet…
  can define the indefinable,
  words meaning more than their letters allow

And only a Poet…
   can stab time in the heart,
   to bleed free and eternal
    —only a Poet
