Cognition Poetica
Writing poetry
is an obsession
a sacred calling
by nature ordained
not a lucrative profession
at least not the lucre
the world sees as gain
peace of mind, succor
heart’s commiseration
grief’s consolation,
constitute the core
of a poet’s
remuneration
Pen to paper
fingers to keyboard
each peak every nadir
compelled to record
sincere words woven
Into fabric of life
tell of elation and strife
ecstasy and pain
and of they whom consider
them one in the same
In this fortuitous age
of global communication
poetry dispersed pole-to-pole
enable common and sage
of any race, creed, or nation
to in concert commune
soul-to-soul

I don't know when I've better encapsulated my love for writing poetry than in this piece.

Dear GW,
Well done you! What a lovely write I think all of us can relate to but you’ve managed to organize the thoughts so eloquently. Beautiful.
