Being A Poet Poem by DM W
Being A Poet
If you want to learn about loneliness
Become a poet. If you want to learn
About solitude and sorrow become
A mystic. In my time I have explored
Both paths. I've stuck with the former. And now
I build worlds that I cannot inhabit.
For wild dreams are transitory things.
O the taste of freedom would be so sweet,
If it wasn't for the perennial
Weight of the intolerable ages.

Expressed nicely, Dominic. And no one but another poet can comprehend the depth of loneliness that you experience, 'building worlds that you cannot inhabit.'
