To be a poet- write the words;
If I adore thee- say the words-
and write the place I be,
it is thy will, thy image of the altered eye-
dost thou ask the question in a worried tone
To be a poet- to write what could not be.

I have a soul- thou dost not see;
to have a spirit- believe in what we could not see-
then poetry comes the making of sense,
to dream- to dream be it not in sleep-
then in our heads the daydream
the knowing of the word that never seems to be.

Yes, to be a poet means all this.
You captured subtle shades here with your usual sensitivity.
Beautiful.
Love, Margherita
