The experience of penning one's thoughts to paper for the perusal of others offers a certain inner satisfaction that must be experienced to be appreciated; letting your words guide you to a deeper appreciation of your surroundings and self. Poets do not garner feelings from their pens, but from their hearts; for the pen is but a brush and the page a canvas upon which to paint dreams, desires, and thoughts. The underlining passion and potency of the written word can be cathartic; when it is your thoughts that embroider the page. Intimate feelings are allowed to drift through those thoughts, and gather between the lines of each verse. A poet's words, like a poultice, can draw emotions from the wounds of memory, and catapult the reader into a reality previously undiscovered. A poet, using a creative collage of tinder thoughts stirs the embers of conformity, hoping to ignite sputtering flames of awareness.

I like your comparison of the poet's pen and page to a painter's brush and canvas, "embroidering" the page with your thoughts. Then, like a poultice, it can "draw emotions / from the wounds of memory". Then, like a tinder and ember, it ignites flames of awareness. Sublime, Emile ~ John

Wow Emile this is amazing writing, I think we can all agree on the power of the pen, to help ourselves heal, and hopefully do the same for our readers. Thanks for sharing!
