The Wind Cannot Shake A Mountain

Like the raging wind cannot make a mountain tremble greatly

so does the critic who can’t shatter the words of a poet.

It’s simple to blow opinion upon opinion on a piece critical

to the point where they may ricochet on surfaces and travel

but to build a poetic foundation, the window into the world

of the writer and to the view of majesty, of a soul imparting

something more than just drawing lines on paper with pen

or pencil then be discarded as time records in fast forward,

the poet is an invaluable source of character, expression,

and personal sentiment.



The poet ruminates in stillness.  Perhaps the poet can be in chaos.

Either way simply let the poet be.  To construct architecture

with words is a passion.  For I am the poet.  My words are

the mountains.  I am worthy.  I am not worthy.  Up to you.

However in myself I am free.
