In the story of life
Poetry is not a random process
Poetry forms part of the foundation of existence
Poetry narrates the beautiful nature of life and existence
Even beyond the natural path of light
Into both darkness and the illuminated light
Poetry opens the avenues of imagination
Planting gigantic trees of knowledge
Poetry ploughs through the supernatural realms
Exposing the nuggets of gold within us
Unveiling the seeds of the Spirit in us
Poetry even goes to the ends of time
And opens a curtain of nothingness
A realm of pure freedom and peace
A sacred and holy place
Poetry has taught us Love
Ushering a new era of super human beings
Capable of loving one another
And asking for nothing in return
This breed of people
Forms the foundation of eternity
And the edge of time
Poetry took us to the land of dreams
And opened a window of mystery
Allowing us to peep into the spiritual realms
Where time and space does not have a government
And laws of gravity have long been rendered meaningless
Poetry is a state of being
That allowed us to touch sorrow
And awaken it from its periodic hibernation
In a painful self-inflicted injury
Poets are capable of puncturing the balloon of peace
And drag you through the most painful moments
Opening new ways for you to find healing
Poetry is not an open book
It is a library of knowledge, understanding and wisdom
It is a monument to those who celebrate creation
And a platform to rejoice
Whether in sorrow
Or in happiness
Poetry is a stage for human beings
To display the art of creation
And be absorbed into the fabric of existence
