Changes are coming  -
Read a Poem 

Silent Poets

We are all poets,
Everyone who sees,
Who feels,
Who touches others.
But most are silent poets,
Keeping to themselves,
The joy and pain
They see and feel.
Afraid to share,
Afraid to seem,
(filler)
Afraid to be
(Dast I pun)
Or not to be,
A poet aloud,
A poet abroad.
Yet silent poets
Weave their work
In the fabrics of
The lives they nurture.
The beauty of their work
Is seen by those they love.
