The Poet

The Poet

A Chapter by Emily B
"

for Robert, who well deserves the title.

"

He shouts his sins

and shares his scars.

He pounds his fists

against relentless

tomorrows.

He whispers his dreams

and leads us

to the light

he still sees.

I am beyond honored by this. I truly do not feel that I am worthy of such a piece of beauty. You are the true poet and you continue to show that. I am just some guy that writes what I see and feel. I feel blessed to have you as a friend and as someone that is an inspiration to me and so many others. Your views on others and the world you see is nothing short of amazing. You once again have give a part of yourself to another. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am kind of at a lost for words. I know that is a first. LOL

Thank you and bless you.

Amen Emily, amen.

I seriously doubt if he knows it but Robert has taught me lots of things. It wasn't anything he tried to teach me but because Robert simply sheds a light that cannot be ignored. I admire Robert's wonderful heart and his ability to write honestly and from his huge heart that never lacks the core values of which he believes. The best part of all is his willingness to leave the door open for us to enter in rather than close off that door as so many others do. That in itself has been a blessing to me and many others I am sure. Robert is such a trooper.

Emily this is a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man and I cannot think of anyone whom deserves it more than he does.

Such a wonderfully beautiful tribute. Almost a sonnet if you will. This was really lovely. Wonderfully capturing the essence of The Poet. Well crafted!

A wonderful, hopeful write in the end despite those undertakings that seem to frustrate the writer. Succinct and telling in so few words. Truly a masterful write. Thank you.
