The Heart Of A Poet Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

A poet lives in an island of consciousness
Bathed by the cold breeze of existence
A poet rises above his self-limiting ego
Shattering his man-made reality
A poet strives to touch silence
To become one with the un-created
To know the mystery of existence
To start from the beginning of creation
Excavating the meaning of life
From the lake of love, the purified consciousness
He moulds the first steps of our existence
Awakening a deep yearning inside the heart
A poet gives life to words
Creating a story of our existence
Exposing the secret of sorrow
Displaying the power of Love
The heart of a poet is soaked with secrets
