Poetry is a prayer;
A silent offering that lets
Inspiration sweep through
The soul-
An adrenaline rush
Of wisdom,
Of wit,
Of worded awe.
Sought in the dark
With trembling fingers
Touching the black nothingness
Of despair-
It seeps into the void
Of flesh,
Of floundering,
Of failure.
Poetry is the single ray of light
Penetrating the impenetrable darkness;
Yet it is also the shadows
Breathed into existence
By the single ray.
It is encompassing
Yet a tiny sliver of hope.
Poetry is the flame
On the red tip of a cigarette
Lusted nicotine-
Falling onto the forest timber
A sparking,
A spreading,
A sun-burst!
Poetry is everything
And poetry is nothing-
For nothing to exist
There need be existence.

Author's Comments
Poetry. One of the few constants of my life, it has been the anchor to my somewhat sanity for 16 years. While I was in South Carolina for Senoir Week Vacation I wrote a few poems about poetry. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writting it. Or more.

Only objection, and perhaps it's stylistic, was "penetrating the impenetrable darkness." I prefer to use paradox for other purposes; for an image like this I'd go with "lancing the forbidding darkness" or "braving the unfathomable darkness" or something.
Check my gallery for "Love In Three Acts" for my treatment of the congruence of sex, prayer, and poetry. I think we may share some common ground in our conception of creativity.

And thank you for your insight. That was a very tricky line.

I know that really isnt in keeping with the spirit of the poem but then I found this poem very inspiring. Makes me want to run off and write as soon as possible! I also like the word "sliver"...
