The Poet

The Poet is a speaker of the world
Or maybe a prophet true
For there is special meaning in all they say and do

A poet’s words are very close to the heart of man and beast
A poet’s words shall show the goal we seek
In a world of such mistrust and pain
It is the poet who sheds a light through the falling rain

A poet’s words always cause emotional flair
Most of these words have a calming air
Others speak words that just sound good
But really have no part
Within this complex thing we call the human heart

There is a place deep within the soul
This is a quiet place that poets know
In this place great words get their start
Poets dip deep within this pool
Pulling out works of art
Others see this spot
As a dark and lonely place
Dying and decaying
Completely void of  grace

If the world shall end
A poet would say it ended in a flash
There came about a mighty wind
Then the world did crash
Others would say that the world did end
They would leave it simply at that
