What Is A Poem?

 Ask him who knows the secret of the seed

That germinates within the womb of earth;

What force is back of all transcendent need 

To bring a fragile blossom into birth.


Ask him who bears the burden of the sun, 

Who wears a shawl of stars about his shoulder,

Where silver threads of moonlight mist are spun;

Ask him who is as old as Time -- and older.


Ask him whose mouth has known the kiss of danger,

Who knows no alien heart, nor ever will;

Ask him who makes a friend of every stranger 

And keeps a tryst with Life beyond the hill. 


And if, perchance, you are a kindred soul

He'll point you back to pathways he has trod

And say to you - "A Poem is a goal,

A mounting step on stairs that lead- to God."
