Kinship of Silence

Never before have I felt the need to read another poet or his deed,
Yet, when the reservoir of words, dries, and there swims in it a feeling sublime,
When there’s a poem, a wisdom in the tilting of trees, in the blueness of water,
Slimness of feet,
When the mundane is  a poem, lyrical and sweet,
When there’s no when, only the poetic now, the slavery of words, ends,
A kinship of silence slowly descends, and every poet I read, I become.
