The ability to envision thingz beyond the sphere of common place.
The insight, as a mason does with brick and mortar,
To construct an architectural masterpiece of word and rhyme.
The perception to hold fast a feeling of such deep conviction,
That it travels beyond the comprehension of most.
The willingness to move, by the stroke of a pen,
To unravel a belief, thought, or feeling,
In the context of its creator.
Ever seeking to expand the hearts of people.
Ever searching for expression, to capture the reader in a way
That will broaden their thoughts on the subject before them.
And ever reaching; to touch the inner workings of the human spirit.
For the poet know; if he can touch the soul of another,
He will touch his own.
