The Awakening
Poets paint pictures
with ink and a pallet of expressive words.
Drawing emotions, poets color outside the lines;
scribbling thoughts onto the page.
A poet has the ability
to make the reader feel; as they connect
with what the words are conveying.
Without poets and poetry,
words are only splashes of ink on the page;
and slip into oblivion without making a sound.
But poets give words an abstract dialect,
like the crying strings of a violin
or the thump of a broken, beating heart;
supplying the catalyst that sparks further thought.
You cannot glean hope from fantasies,
and so, poets speak of life
with words that echo reality;
in the empty spaces between the lines.
It takes a poet to pen the ambiance
that allows the reader to feel the words;
refined for their nuances and meaning.
Poetry explores truths and taboos openly
for the perusal of the world.
Doors are left ajar, windows cracked, and closets aired out,
as ink flows from the poet's pen;
and the awakening begins.
