THE POET AND THE STREET

I KNEW THAT MARVELOUS POET AND THAT MARVELOUS STREET! HIS NAME WAS CONDELAC CHAVES DE ANDRADE

There is a street where the silence

Is great and totally wonderful!

That street there are trees

And many,many beautiful houses...

Rarely you see someone walking

On that street, but the wind 

You can feel when it sweetly passes:

You see that the leaves are dancing...

A poet lives there: he lives alone! 

He really doesn't have a wife 

Or a son; nor a dog as his fellow!

What he has are his dreams, his poems...

He has himself and he regularly says:

For me it's enough - I am happy!

I enjoyed your poem sir.It has a certain punch of joy and happiness in it.I don't know how but i actually feel happy after reading this. The happiness is infectious i guess.I think that the moral displayed here is something which we all ought to follow in our lives. : )
Do write more : D

My dear friend Devanshu: I had a friend , a great poet, whose name was Condelac, and a day I did a visit for him and the street where he was living it stayed in my mind until today. So the poem refers to that event! Thank you for your nice words! A great hug!

Happiness is what matters - some are happier alone. I enjoyed the serenity of your words.
