What is Poetry?

What is Poetry?

Last night when we walked downtown –

over the tops of buildings we saw the tops of other buildings –
spheres and shapes that had settled together, a family cobbled together.

Different and unique together.
I like when it rains and the sun is out –
the water catches the quality of the light and reflects it back.

All these things are poetry, seeing, revealing in the most unusual ways.
Poetry is the stuff of a heart that cannot be shut down.
It is a voice that continues to speak even after the tongue has been removed.


Poetry tells me I am a mystery.
I am not a problem to be solved, but
a grand result of a just and creative God.
