Poetry is the essence of life
The things that count
The things that touch us, move us
Elevate us
Poetry is an emanation of the soul
Our essential self
Our eternal self
Our higher self
Poetry is about the intangible things
Love, compassion, curiosity
Poetry reaches where other things can’t
It penetrates our material shell
And illumines our inner self
Poetry is the expression of love
Love for the Divine
Love for our fellow man
Poetry is other-worldly
Magical, mystical, transformative
Poetry is beauty
A beauty that does not fade
Poetry is a love song
