What Does It Mean To Be A Poet ~ By Harilaos Stefanakis
What does it mean to be a poet you ask? It means to be the song for those who cannot sing To be the spoken word for those that cannot speak It means to bind your words in spells for every soul in need of care and to weave your words on purpose for the stories you must share It means to cast your words as metal bowls that sing to hearts instead of minds and to frame your words as windows that look beyond what you can find It means to pour your words as mortar for foundations full of strength and to lay your words as bricks to shelter life's full length It means to sharpen words as edges to cut out truth before it dies and to find the words that shield us away from further lies It means to learn the incantations of those who've come before and to find a way to use them to open up the door What does it mean to be a poet you ask? It means to be the song for those who cannot sing To be the spoken word for those that cannot speak |
