Poetry is the answer to the question, how can words become art? Or, how can art be made of words?
Poetry is an answer to the soul’s calling. What is the soul calling for? The soul calls for meaning and meaning can only be found beyond words. But words become a vehicle to deliver the path and the path is symbolic.
Poetry is the answer to the overwhelm of emotion. The overflow of feeling is transferred metaphysically from a mental place to a physical form which can be shared and understood throughout time and space.
Poetry is the answer to the question, what is magic? Who is the muse? Where is love? How can we be free?
Poetry releases me.
