Only a Poet…
can change feelings into air,
begetting a new feeling
Only a Poet…
can transform thoughts into verse,
birthing a new thought
Only a Poet…
can define the indefinable,
words meaning more than their letters allow
And only a Poet can stab time in the heart,
to bleed free and eternal,
—only a Poet

Yes, indeed, only a poet can do this; and you're the one with the wand that transforms the words.
I appreciate the kind words ....
Very nice! I think, too often, that it takes a poet to "get" a poet. Such a shame so much is lost on all the non-poets. So much beauty, eloquence and insight...lost. -- phoenix
