A poet is a poem

 

A poet is a poem

A beautiful line pregnant with wisdom,

Crafted by the mighty hands of nature.

Birds beg him to sing,

In the middle of the night

And at the dawn of day.

A poet is a poem,

The history that's untold,

Sad tales and fantasies,

Touches of romantic nights,

Of life and madness.

A poet is a poem,

A serenade a lover sings

To her husband,

While watching the dawn star.

He's a lullaby a mother sings to her son,

To lull him to sleep.

A poet is the mournful song,

The ululations and groans of pain,

He's the victory song —

Yes, the trumpet of victory.
