The Power of Poetry
What Power of Poetry Will Do For You
Being A Poet Is The Best Job In The World!
What is poetry?
Poetry is an art form that communicates emotion and meaning in a combination of words and lines. This form of expression can be written, spoken, or sung. The beauty of this art is that it creates an emotional response in the reader and provides them with a deeper understanding of what they’ve read or heard. There’s an intimacy to the way poetry speaks to its listeners — even if it’s coming from a stranger!
“There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.” ― Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings
Miyamoto Musashi’s quote is so actual and profound. The only thing that I need in my life is myself. All the happiness, strength, power, riches, and intelligence I need are already inside me. There are no limits to what I can accomplish because all the mental constructions that box me in are inconsequential. The outside world doesn’t matter because it will always be a projection of my mind anyway!
I will never get ahead of myself. I will know my place. I will always be comfortable with who I am, regardless of where I am, because I know that it’s only my perception! There is no outside world. There is only me, experiencing what’s happening in my mind, which is bouncing around like a pinball machine.
I’ve augmented thanks to the tools that allow me to reach spaces beyond my physical world. I can manipulate existence with my mind. My mind is enough to create my reality! The outside world is only my perception of it. I can change my perception simply by changing the way that my mind is talking to me.
I’ve been waiting for this opportunity. I’ve been reading and writing and practicing for this moment all my life. Now it’s here, and I can’t believe that I’m about to take it all in.
All of these years, working tirelessly on my craft. All of these hours spent trying to get the words right; the thoughts assembled; the experience distilled into a form that could be universally understood and used by all people. Yet, the walls of time crumble around me as I stand at this threshold: Fulfilling my purpose; completing my life’s work; delivering what I was born to do — Creating art!
It’s here! The next chapter of my life is here! I can feel it moving in me. It’s going to be a good story for sure. I know that it will bring a lot of people into a better place. I’m going to create a masterpiece that will change the way people think about everything in their poetry!
I want to shout it from the rooftops. I want to shout out to the world that I will be publishing my life’s work on Substack!
