Essence of the Mind

Everything is because they are...

What of a bud,
if it does not bloom?
Affection's but fiddle,
Romance in its doom.

What of caterpillars,
If wings never flapped?
Growth's but an image,
Souls tightly wrapped.

What of the clouds,
if a drop never fell?
Emotions imprisoned,
Words will never tell.

What of reason,
if one does not think?
Things happen unknowingly,
As fast as a blink.

wonderful pour of essence of mind. never read such a poem and the first impression itself is good. maybe i should steal over to your home and take your brain for mine the brain that sows only that seed that will grow. Wonderful rhyming with excellent use of figure of speech. words with deep meaning that only a true poet can reveal.

I would lie if I say I didn't feel flattered, but everyone is a poet of their own, they have their own imagery, their own take on words :)) I'm just using the available vocab in my mind, and nothing a handy dictionary can't help :)
