Poem – My Soul is a Poet

 

My soul is a poet. I am an adventurer in words.

I follow the flow of feelings, as I listen to the birds.

I sing a song that constantly comes from my heart.

I look at everything with eyes that hope for a new start.

 

Inside the artist constantly seeks to refine.

The magic of how water could turn into wine.

Within me is a power that lives in a constant state of grace.

And with compassionate eyes, I observe the human race.

 

They live in constant fear that they never seem to see.

And with their thoughts they constantly choose to disagree.
When they do that, the world has less color and light.

Inside their soul what once was so very bright.

 

Begins to dim and they begin to be so much less.

And that is how our world is in so much distress.
Open your eyes and let the wonder back in.

It is time to let the mind go somewhere else to spin.

 

Do not waste this life in fearing what might be.

Instead take a risk and go listen to the waves on the sea.

The ocean has a voice that is older than time.

And she can set you on a path that is beyond the mind.

 

It is up to you to be willing to change.

We will all be asked to step back and rearrange.

What we believed defined who we are.

Is not going to be enough because we are a bright star.

 

Now that you know, what will you do now?
Will you continue to fear and to others kowtow?

I hope the knowing of who is really inside.

Will give you finally no place to go and hide.

 

Because this world needs your light and love.

It is time for you to free from the mind’s cage that beautiful dove.
The fires that burn within my soul.
Are intended to ignite what the mind tries to control.

 

I see the spark of universal light.

That seeks to find a way through the dark night.

And come into the place where it can breathe again and see.

And that is how we reclaim a life that is wondrous and carefree.
