An Ode To Poets

Drafting is meaningless if there is no one to read

Writing is tiring when you have to bleed it all in

Reading is exhausting when you feel the need to repeat

You might even quit if you believe it all like this

Yet a poet only writes to pay his respects to life

He doesn’t worry about the mysteries of life

He leans in to reach for the signs, it breathes

As there is a moment, he waits for the reprise

A moment of madness, and a moment of joy

He works hard to breathe life into what he writes

Never growing anxious about having someone to ride his tides

As he knows, there is meaning hidden alongside

The pain and hardships of dear old life

Thank you for reading.
