The Gift Of Muse And The Grace To Inspire

If I have to poetry see and define My words would shrink and stop to ink My thoughts would be unable to align And in confusion I would rather sink.. Visions in words would learn how to speak Words marvellously moulded by a wordsmith Far reaching charm a poet would constantly seek Unique gems adeptly crafted by a goldsmith.. It’s the power to paint and portray Compose a tune.. an ambient so rare An art gallery, a rich tapestry to display Masters of words of sublime flair.. Much more.. the magic of poetry The soul of verse can one acquire? Abc’s and rules.. suffice to pen poesy! Who grants the gift of Muse and the grace to inspire? On the mystery of poetry I still ponder Poets and their feeding Muse hearts impress Their path of no sand or end would wander What is predictable willing to transgress.. Fill your glossaries beyond lands and seas Empty the wealth of your mine into sieves Precious pearls of rare beauty you receive Stir souls while telling stories before you leave..

Poetry knows no bounds. How differently each poet views a scene and deals with a subject. We poets are fortunate, for God has blessed us with fecund imagination. Each time when we compose a sweet rhyme or peruse through the pages of an anthology of poems, what delight we get. Dear Besma, the gifted poet, what delight and inspiration your poems give me! In this poem, you have summarized the enormous appeal, poetry leaves in the heart of each reader. You have concluded your poem with an exhortation to all poets..... "Fill your glossaries beyond lands and seas Empty the wealth of your mine into sieves Precious pearls of rare beauty you receive Stir souls while telling stories before you leave.."

My dearest friend Besma,what a beautiful reflection on the magic and mystery of poetry! You've captured its essence with such grace, comparing poets to wordsmiths and goldsmiths—creators of treasures that transcend time. Your imagery of poetry as both art and adventure is inspiring, and the call to "stir souls while telling stories" is a heartfelt reminder of its true purpose. A lovely tribute to the art and craft of poetry. Keep inspiring my beautiful friend...Love and Hugs
