Poet's Soul

POET'S SOUL

Words flowing from within the heart
To compose a poetic thought,
Letting the muse control the pen.
The soul flooded with images it wrought.

From within the heart come the words
Helping to heal a wounded soul.
Driving deep into the core
To let the one in pain know

No one needs to walk alone
With burdens too heavy to bear.
The poet with reassuring verse
Sends healing words of care

Reaching out to the one in pain
Helping the heart to mend,
Reassuring them not to despair.
For within the verse they find a friend

What is it that affirms a Poet's Soul?
The listener connects with what they heard
As if the poet wrote the verse for them
And the healing begins within the word.
