Head Still #3

How do I describe what I feel?

I am not a poet!
I am a person to whom poetry happens.
This fundamental creative act of language
evokes an emotional and sensual response
A power that finds new meaning to a word
Then that word becomes apparent
Exposing the intangible soul,
one that a few will attempt to grasp at,
but most allow it to slip through unnoticed
For surely it is a sad thing in this world
that people live unpoetically
As a poem is not just isolated to words on paper
A poem is a way of identifying the world
And of identifying oneself

Author's Note

This one I will get around to editing.... I love it too much to leave it be. I know it can be better
