If Not For A Poet's Imagination Poem by Sukhada Gholba

If not for a poet's imagination
Words would have lost its bewitching sensation
For the moon would have only been a large rock
And the mist in the morning air some water vapour

If not for a poet's imagination
Emotions would have lost its tickling sensation
For love would have only been a foolish chemical reaction
And gazing at the twinkling stars a sign of mental retardation

If not for a poet's imagination
Our senses would have lost it flavor
For music would have only been some molecule vibrations
And a beautiful red rose only a reflection of the light waves

A poet adds beautiful meaning to everything that is not evident
For what is life without the invisible experiences
Its simply a human body
Without its pristine soul
