poetry is getting <br />to the roots of us all <br /> <br />getting into that lake <br />in us to find what <br />there are in it <br /> <br />looking at the sun <br />and tracing its footsteps <br />to see how it travels <br />to our soul and <br />communicates with it <br /> <br />poetry is going <br />to that part of us <br />which once spent <br />a thousand million years <br />to acquire the faculty <br />of speech and reasoning <br />from the workings of the wind, the moon, the sun <br />and the whole solar system<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/getting-to-the-lake-in-us/
