The Godfather Of Poetry Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

I am a poetry sage to give life
to the words i write
i find inspiration from the river of my being
which flows in the night
every moment in time
gives me the opportunity
to channel my mind
to remove the darkness of oppression
and to the weak be kind

from nature i am able to interpret
the language of the animals and weeds
i can listen to them speak
through the mirror of my soul
when sorrow bleeds
in pursuit to become a human being
like myself
i can hear their cry
like the stars in heaven
who desires the same
as they light the sky

how fortunate i am to hold the universe
in the palm of my hand
to envision the future
and the privilege of destiny command
the lamp of the infinite
glitters with the existence of my heart
to enjoy this beautiful journey
of life is like a dream before i part

to earn the key to the castle of wisdom
i give a sacrifice of faith
that i will have enshrined in my mind
the courage to wait
i have the power to create
out of the mountain
a new pathway for tomorrow
i will lead by example
to listen to the timelessness of the silence within
where i can experience no sorrow
