A poet's thoughts
Are like a cruising ship on a vast ocean.
It has its own speed, own compass.
Even when it moves in the right direction
The captain looks up to the lighthouse
To guide it to the right harbour.
A poet too looks out for a lighthouse
To guide his thoughts and feelings,
To the right destination, to form a poem.
For him, this lighthouse could be
A face that inspires, a song that enchants,
A cuckoo's coo, or a fancied voice, unheard.
This is a very nice poem, straight to the point in a round about way :)
A poet too looks out for a lighthouse To guide his thoughts and feelings... That's so very true! In all that we do there is an invisible guide directing us! Thanks for sharing this lovely poem with us, Khairul!
