I came upon an intriguing french phrase: "Raison d'etre" which means - reason for existing . This age-old question has been pondered by humanity with the birth of consciousness and is a question that all of us ask repeatedly in our lifetimes in our search for who we are. My answer to this question is within this poem "POET". We are all alone in our worlds but constantly reach out looking for love to protect us, inspire us, and make us feel worthy, while we consistently express it as our identity through our art and humanity to other fellow humans, defining who we are. This poem is an abstract use of words that implies these sentiments with a sensual relevance and rationale that re-creates the mystery and loneliness in our search.
Wandering in a love song
Dreaming of his hearts embrace
The Troubadour sings
"Raison d' etre"
While stars cast a lonely moon's tune
Where darkness shields his fate
As wind is to rain, his sadness
Blows tears to the ground and falls
Like heavy roaring
Thundering skies crash
While his lyric silences soft
The Troubadour sings
