I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a poet.
If poetry is the manifestation of the mind’s abstraction, plotted like a garden on a fertile page, Coaxed to grow, with lofty intent…
Then no, I am no poet.
But if poetry were a byproduct of listening-
-to Heart
-to Earth
-to You
And the words glowed in your mind, Like stardust And refreshed, Like lilac dew And the result was an anchored breath on a rippling soul…
Then I am alive. Alive.
Alive.
