perhaps it is because like a small stream or river
poet takes a meandering path through fields of poetry
enjoying the walk not concerned with the journey
although I seem to get so little done so often
in silent passing read far more than I comment
enjoying choice words stylistic crafted beauty
weave woven words by other poets written
I am deeply indebted to poetic themes words
jewels inspiration fellow poets have written
I sincerely aspire to try to reference
seed source of all lines written if inspired
by others poets who enrich the lives
of appreciative we who love poetry
to reference gem inspirational sources
is like leaving detailed treasure maps
we are poet explorers through all worlds poetry
prepared to quest time travel far mind distances
in love pursuit of beauty message meaning poetry

I wrote the poem 'A Poet Can Write Poetry As A Sacred Trust', inspired by my reply to a comment on my poem 'Sacred Sources Of Dedicated Poems Referenced', made by the poet M.J. Lemon and dedicated to M.J. Lemon.
I have for a long time believed that a poet can write poetry as a sacred trust, sometimes attempting to write universal truth accurately, the opposite extreme can be light entertaining or writing for the joy pleasure desire to write, to express feelings emotions with more clarity.
