We Are Poems
We are poems.
A poem is an artistic expression,
Crafted by a mind whose only intention
Is to see itself and its deepest conceptions
Be seen by the world.
A poem is a breath of life;
Many who read it will surely find
A key or an answer to a riddle they've tried
To answer, but never could.
A poem is a love song, no matter what the subject;
It professes its love to a person, place, idea, or object,
Or even the cry for love where it lacks, a reject
Desperate and screaming for more.
We are poems.
We are crafted by the great Artist,
Displayed as the truest song in His heart,
Life-beings breathing and crying and singing
Because we are who He knows we are.
We are the greatest poetry of time--
For what can compare to a soul like mine,
Or yours, or theirs--living lyrics, lines,
And verses, whether or not we rhyme.
