We are not carpenters or masons. <br /> We sit quietly, secluded, alone, <br /> Building not with brick or stone, <br /> But with wishes, fantasy, fact. <br /> Written to inspire you to act, <br /> To be emotional, to understand, <br /> Phrases time will withstand. <br /> <br /> Sometimes, like a dreamer <br /> Lost under a full moon, <br /> Spirited as a wandering loon, <br /> Our uninhibited thoughts whirl, <br /> They freely dance and twirl <br /> Till verse is formed on page <br /> Moving people across life's stage.<br /><br />Dorothy Dykhuizen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-are-poets/
