Where Poets Come From (part one)
Poets are more than conceived. They are transformed to meet the eye of life. What do I mean by this? A poet has unparalleled depth and passion blazing inside of them throughout time, and they have the remarkable ability to convert that into words. The song which sings in their heart speaks to others in countless ways.
So, in other words, a poet comes from the essence of who they are at any given time. This can be in the past, present, or future, even though they may not always know their destiny.
In fact, poets will not always have all the answers. But here’s what sets them apart from others: they know how to get people thinking. Their words can prompt deep thoughts, even though the original poem itself did not consist of an answer. Rather, an answer is built from what was written originally – thus conveying a message all their own.
