Secretaries To Our Soul

What inspires us to write heartfelt poetry

To divulge our innermost thoughts and feelings

It's certainly not to gain fame or fortune

Ever heard of a millionaire poet

We don't hear those two words uttered

In the very same breath

It's a proven fact poets don't write poetry

With the view of earning a fortune

Poets write poetry to satisfy an inner need

To create, to inspire, to motivate

That tug at the heartstrings

That brings sunshine to dullest of days

That express everyday feelings

In a most poetic way

We know when the words just fall into place

That something special is about to happen

We don't need to wrack our brains

Our innermost being writes the words

We just dutifully record them

And sign our name at the bottom

We are all secretaries to our souls
