A world within a world

Did you see the old man, his stoop and his beard, and his black rimmed spectacles?

Did you see the girl, savouring every drop of the candy? Her curly ringlets making a chocolate halo?

Did you see the busy young man, walking down in a hurry? Thinking about his lover’s face? ( Or maybe the stock market..)

Did you miss the chubby boy, humming to himself, all the while lugging his cello?

Did you look at the sparrows on the pavement? Most probably not..

You are thinking, “Who is a poet?”

The answer is very easy- It’s you.

Yes. Every one of us is a poet from within. A poet is not someone who can make the words but it is someone who can make emotions tangible by putting them into actions and words..

A poet is not always hidden behind overflowing bookshelves and not always found wandering in a beautiful garden.

A poet is someone who creates order out of chaos. A poet is an artist who plays with words and makes them come alive.

A poet is not necessarily a great thinker or a worldly wise person.. Who said you couldn’t be a bard when you have the power to make others feel..?

You know what I feel and believe?

If you have a voice,

If you can dream,

If you can create a world within a world,

You are already a poet..
