I have no voice but for these silent words
That fall from thought to the empty page
As softly as the snow falls to the ground
Or as thunderously as the rain from the storm
Touching gently the heart and soul
Ripping fiercely and raising ire
Pulling tears from deep within
Emotions, feelings brought to life

I speak to no one but I speak to all
Those who will listen will find
Something - something to cling to
Some hope in a dreary world
Kindness in a time of sadness
Light for their darkness
A kindred spirit that holds them close
A loving parent that lets them go

I peek into your lives and you peek into mine
And together we find our common ground
For I am the translator of your dreams
Guardian of your secrets
I am - the poet.

How well said!  To know a poet one must read their works. Often we see reflections of ourselves in their lines that were previously unknown to us.  This is a keeper.

Such a cherished name,  to be called a poet.
Something we all value because we do all
learn shippets of who the other is...
Nicely written, thank you.

You have touched a place inside me where words are kept~
'something to cling to'

Thank you~

I'm a poet
And my big feet show it ~ 'Cause they're Longfellers!

Actually I am a fan of Longfellow's poetry.

I have written several poems on being a poet. I really appreciate the one that you just penned, Dear Poet.

Love & Poet Light,
EA
