What Is A Poet?

A poet is a drift of air
You feel their cool presence
But never truly see deep interior
A poet knows the darkness but lets not a shadow in the woods give them definition
They fight fear with a fine weapon of ink and light years worth of verbal strength
That which grows within the soul
A poet rests quietly, listens and understands
A poet can be anybody
We paint the world with so many colors, soon we have a painting with a soul of millions of frames
You may ask, what does it take to be a poet?
Well honestly, it takes as simple as an expression of ink
You yourself could be a poet for all you know
You just have to look within and see what great wonders lie in the shadows of your mind
