Poetry can either be a strong wind that leads to a hurricane or a calm spell that heals all wounds. Poetry is the basis of everything that is sacred, mystical, beautiful and eternal. Since the age of darkness, poetry illuminated our path and brought forth the fountain of our inner emotions we call - the language of the soul. It comes from beyond the realm of our existence and yet it’s a simple union of words spoken with a meaning. As our world sinks deeper into its dependence on technology, our sole expression of thought becomes the silent language of virtual communication. We have to make an effort to remember our most cherished essence as human beings and that is we are the creation of the divine. A poet’s role is to restore that connection and to narrate his or her observation of the space between the light and dark we call life.
