The Poet’s Landscape
Yearning - longing - craving -desiring<o:p></o:p>
needing - wishing - wanting -hoping:
These are the fertile fields for cultivating poets.
This is our garden, our landscape and green thumbs,<o:p></o:p>
where we nurture and nourish and toil to make life hum.
One turn of imaginative soil for growth,<o:p></o:p>
One interpretation generously watered with care,<o:p></o:p>
One morsel of cure for the troubled soul,<o:p></o:p>
One grain of self-healing tendered,<o:p></o:p>
One painful blister shared,<o:p></o:p>
One sprout of faith in mind,<o:p></o:p>
One vision resonating with all mankind,<o:p></o:p>
One leap up from the Earth to the Sun,<o:p></o:p>
To be one with thee,<o:p></o:p>
One flowering rose,<o:p></o:p>
One healing prose,<o:p></o:p>
Each poet sows,<o:p></o:p>
There something grows.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
