You Want To Be a Poet

I see you for everything you are What are you? A poet?...a poet Define poet for me Are you a poet if you write many words Are you a poet if you put many ideas in writing Are you a poet if you think many thoughts Are you a poet if you simply write blah blah blah over and over again Who defines me as person if I cannot define myself I am a poet Good or bad Worthy or unworthy I am still a writer of words a conveyor of thought I dance with words and they with me I love words and words ...Oh blessed! love me But There is a greater cause! ...so pause To be a poet To touch the intrinsic chord Stir the cosmic soup Be the pebble chucked into the pond One ripple...one glint as light off the water to lift or companion to patron to hold A chalace...the golden cup to be the Holy grail Chosen from which a soul may take a sip Forever blessed As one if only for a fleeting moment Not alone
