Poets Are Called By The Almighty Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Poets Are Called By The Almighty

Rating: 5.0


A real poet has to be
a living expression
of the love of God;
being all things to all men
for the sake of God.

Love is the chief motivating force.
Love is above all things
and is the sum total
of mystical thinking.

True love helps a poet
to systematize his own thought
to seriously and consciously
attempt to direct others
in and through his verses.

Nothing so intensifies a man's scholarship
as the burden of directing the mental
and spiritual growth of others.

This is exactly the vocation of a poet.

This self-felt responsibility surely intensifies
the poet 's own inner exploration and study.

The simple story of love is it, converged as the heart of a lover, diverged as an endless universe (Jigar Muradabadi) So I love Him and when I walk the whole universe walks with me. You poems invite the readers to look into our bosoms and to understand our hearts
