The Secretary of Our Soul
What inspires us to write heart felt poetry
To divulge our innermost feelings
It's certainly not to gain fame or fortune
Ever heard of a millionaire poet
Those two words are never uttered
In the very same breath
It's a proven fact poets don't write poetry
With the view of earning a fortune
Poets write poetry to satisfy an inner need
To create, to inspire, to motivate
That tug at the heartstrings
That bring sunshine to dullest of days
That express every day feelings
In a most poetic way
We know when the words just fall into place
That something special is about to happen
We don't need to wrack our brains
Our innermost being writes the words
We just dutifully record them
And sign our name at the bottom
We are the secretary of our soul
