Poets Alike Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

Poets are like waves in the ocean
who never sleep
to look for the treasure of wisdom
in the silence deep
who will surrender the pleasure
of the senses to live like the blind
for all this vanity and illusion
they must leave behind

Poets brings life to imagination
like the stars in the night
to float like clouds in the sky
and to portray the light
into the hidden tunnels of the earth
they are able to reach
to bring out the knowledge of the universe
and to make leaders with whom they teach

Poets can compare the languages of the birds
and fishes to reveal what they mean
for they know how to interpret
and to move their living being
the challenges and disaster they encounter
motivates them to succeed
to make the forces of nature bow to their feet
will come to their need

Poets have an unusual ability
like the differently abled to survive
to change their roles between night and day
and for the weak to revive
through the vessels of the mind
they can travel between time and space
to walk in this world be but only once
no one can replace.
