 the poet is the connection linking here and now to what comes next the poet is like a spring-fed underground river his words consumed by those in the know the poet is a stalwart tree fed with drops of words and desire consumed by his Muse the feminine side of his being this Muse is like a beautiful bird of inspiration calming the disheartened with words to ease the pain and misery the poet little by little flows into the hearts and thoughts of those who read him he can be, with the help of his Muse an angel, or if his Muse has a really bad day, the devil incarnate the poet sows his infinite kernels into his poems the other side of the poet the masses close their eyes to his message he, who asks of naught of life except what keeps his words alive the people refuse his Muse-fed talents the poet settles into a cycle of melancholy but I say this you, the poet are the existence of life you poet carry on understanding that in the future your words may be coveted by millions so you smile as your fingers fly across the keyboard ©November 28, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ Your past is just a story.

Happy Holidays my dear friend! Your ponderings on the poet and muse ring true. You clearly voice the vague knot I often feel in the pit of my poetic gut. Well done! Lori |

Of course I care what you think, Michael. Don't know where you got the notion that I didn't. ~*~ Your past is just a story. Once you realize this, it has no power over you. ~*~ |
