A True Poet At Last

Words written on paper mean nothing
without understanding! A writer's soul
bleeds but unless you can sense the pain
also, his suffering has been for nothing.

It's not merely for fame or fortune that
he writes but for spreading his feelings,
thoughts and messages to everyone who
seeks the Truth!

He can make you laugh, cry, live and die.
Strings dangle from your helpless mind as
he proceeds to control you with the constricting
skill of a master puppeteer!

So give in to his hypnotic power and don't
be angry just because you lost control
of reality for a small fraction of time.

Instead, feel grateful that you got to experience
a different view toward life ......through the eyes
of a true poet!
