A Poet is not a Prophet
Appointed or anointed?
A Poet doesn’t care
He (or she) introduces his poem
On the podium of life
With no dogma attached
Just the unassailed truth
Deliberately painted on the canvas of
life
A Poet is not here to convince you
But to illuminate the template of your
being
And subject you to the power of awareness
The essence of your being is the
fundamental chapter
In his message of hope, peace and Love
A poet is not searching for you
A Poet is seeking for the truth inside
you
It is the evisceration of the debris of
life
The puncturing of the veil of lies,
deception and illusions
And the exposition of the naked self
A poet fiddles with the nakedness of
being
And caresses the essence of existence
With words, a Poet unlocks the central
nervous system of life
Disentangling the neuronal pathways of
the spirit
A Poet dreams to be with your true self
To embrace your being and be the fibre of
peace, hope and happiness
A Poet is not here to re-arrange your
life
But to reinvigorate your soul
And ignite your spirit
It is the truth that needs to be
liberated
Freed from the superficial layers of ego
and delusions
A Poet seeks to unleash the real you
And let you roam the wonderful vastness
of existence
A Poet speaks not of himself or herself
But of the beauty and essence of being
The ever flowing moment of ecstasy inside
all of us
