The very force guides us along a journey that holds of great adventure. We are the explorers of the literary world. We must find the courage to write what others are unable to, with the greatest of passion. A poet dreams. and then must portray his visions upon the page that lies before him. It is the beauty of all things that inspires us to communicate in such a way. A man does not wake up one day, and decide to become a poet. It must live in the very blood that courses through his veins. He is the creator of a world, only he has known. He is the actor and director, of all that speaks out through his pen. He is a man of all men, Visionary of all visionaries. What you haven't seen, he has. What you can't say, he can. For he is the poet.
