What Is Poetry?

What is poetry?
               Is it the starry dawn?
                  Is it the contemplative aura?
               Is it the sweet song of the brook?
            Is it the music of unspoken words?
              Is it the moon reflected on the 
                      windy hill?
               Is it the golden breath of alabaster
                               Source?                                               
                Is it the eternal breath of the rose?
              Is it the sweet and sour life?
             Is it the joyful chirp of a
                          sparrow?
                  Is it the insatiable thirsty of our soul?
                 Is it the sky that wipes away its humble tears?
                 Is it the meek lily that 
                stands humbly?
                Is it the rainbow that embraces our
                                 mourning soul?
              Is it the stormy sea that roars
                 our irrevocable fate?
                  Is it the winged wind that escapes
                 from the peaceful sphere?
                  Is it the decorated boat waiting for its
                         turn?
                    Really, really, I don't know, I don't know.
                  one thing is clear, one thing is clear; that 
              I am an infant who has been nurtured by His spirit...
