Where Do We Poets Go

Two people looking out of a window
Strange, is it not, they see different things
Poet; attention soft in stillness slow
Man of the world; his eyes glazed, sees nothing

In seeming chaos, there is symmetry
As the pendulum swings from left to right
We see around sacred geometry 
Unvoiced intent, cognised by inner sight

Poised attention, distilled by a kind heart
Watchword for a poet, warm empathy
Discerning flow of love, before it starts
Tears behind smiles, feigning serenity

Poets in truth go nowhere, poised in silence
Interconnected with the universe
Reading between lines in playful parlance
Resonation of heart, being our verse

Enjoyed reading the thought of two different people. I'm not sure what silent one is looking for. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for dropping by Eve! Just like there are many colours in a rainbow, a combination of different notes makes for enchanting music! Each poet too must emote as of his or her own heart :)
