Listening to every heart

Poets Make Things Happen

we birth
we feed
we live and die
sharing stories

needing
giving
caring

on the wind
words
are colorless

fine words
are
never-ending

I am, therefore,
you,
and you,
and you

while still me

I, as you,
am either young
or old
perhaps
in-between

I, as you,
am
mother father
sister brother

a link to yesterday
a hope for tomorrow

I, as you,
grow cold
or warm

experience pain
or joy

love, and
laugh

it matters not
my creed
or religion

I am, as you are

a poet

we can change the world

one word
at a time

it all begins
in our heart

mine pumps red
as yours does

circle me with
your words

circle the globe
with your words

make
it happen

now

and we will read you.

There was deep motivation here.
Excellently expressed,
and joyously shared.

We can change the world ...
one word at a time!!

Karilea....we do change the world, do we not?

Our messages ring with truth and deep feelings.

Words from pens which are like steel etching
the most hard rocks for all time.

Thank you...I enjoyed this..

And my favorite word, the one to encircle the globe, would be LOVE.
Your words always encircle my heart and mind, and make me thankful for the art and truth of poetry.

Excellent expression Karilea.  We are...poets.  Loved this and into the keepers it goes...

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
