We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

When I Awake
When I Awake
The poem, my fix, begins the day Takes me away Rights my ship Without a blip
The bard's word my inspiration Pure elation To soothe my soul Render me whole
The poem, the sun, a perfect pair In air so rare I find my way Above the fray
