God, the clouds remind us
That we must lift our eyes to heaven,
That there is above people
Above their private woes
Spirits running and flying
With which we must coexist,
The poet should point them out.

Yann,
I do so enjoy your perspective. I agree poets have a calling and a talent that should be used with good intent. ~L

The last line strikes hard.  I write so darkly, I almost feel as sometimes I am doing exactly the one thing I shouldn't be with the gift that God gave me.  I struggle with this every time I pick up the pen, and agree with you wholeheartedly.

I believe you have done just that. This is a lovely reminder that our ability to write is a gift to be used and shared. Love this!
