When words fail him, what does a poet do?
When his heart casts him out of the world of words,
When words seem to never make sense
What does a poet do?
Where does he turn when life seems dark,
Where does he search for light?
When the ink dries,
What does a poet do?
How does he compose himself,
When the art has been destroyed.
His soul has stopped seeking,
The beautiful essence of words.
He is distraught,
And has not a pen to help him.
What does a poet do
When he is overcome by this poetic deprivation.
