. what is a poem

? something made of words
? something that rhymes
, that meaning herds
? together for a greater cause
? if there was ever such a thing

..but really
, what is a poem
? what is the poetic
? maybe something above
- something greater
- than life

..a story
. an illusion
. and yet the only truth

. a vision

. and anything can become a vision
! an experience can be shared
! a hope

, that we can become one
; if for only a moment
, in this ever
-changing world
! that doesn't make a single sense
~that doesn't last 
, if not cradled in words
- embraced by meaning
. drowned inside it's own flesh
, and bone

, and words
, like birds
, together reach
; a new land
! and not each his own
!!but one uncharted
, where alone
, no one can see 
- can find
- set foot upon
; but through a poem

..maybe 

, just maybe
! poems
. the poetic
, is a vessel
! a dream
; given form
, to carry the weary traveller across the styx

! and getting back is easy
, just like waking up
! but you see
, a poem is needed
-to reach this land

! it is the screen
, through which you see

! it is the earth
, on which you stand

! it is the sea
, which you have voyaged through

! it is the boat
, and I
, and it is you

! the sadness
, or the bliss you feel

..that
, and so much more
, a poem is

I loved the formation of this beautiful literary text, the verses were well organized and the graphic symbols made the work more grandiose in detail.
Excellent job! Heart
