Poets

The poet achieves dominion over

the cruelties of life

by capturing emotions

as they flit by.

 

Like dreams,

emotional moments seek to escape unrecorded.

Only the diligent poet

can trap the essence of what all feel

but few remain conscious of.

 

Let's hear it for poets,

without whose fine tuning

we would forget our inner lives.

A toast to poets,

archivists of the soul,

recorders of the unconscious.

keepers of the collective memory.

Hail, poets!

Long life to you.

Long life to your words.
