We traveled long and forgot <br />Why poetry was invented. <br />It is a prayer, <br />It is a sacrifice, <br />It is purification. <br /> <br />It was invented to attract rain <br />Or the manifestation of God, <br />Or to steal advice <br />In the unpromising gloomy morning. <br /> <br />It is a miracle, <br />Magical sound, <br />It is a cure, <br />And a balm.<br /><br />Dejan Stojanovic<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-within-a-song/
