To hear never-heard sounds, <br />To see never-seen colors and shapes, <br />To try to understand the imperceptible <br />Power pervading the world; <br />To fly and find pure ethereal substances <br />That are not of matter <br />But of that invisible soul pervading reality. <br />To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul; <br />To be a lantern in the darkness <br />Or an umbrella in a stormy day; <br />To feel much more than know. <br />To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a mountain; <br />To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon; <br />To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves; <br />To be an insignificant pedestrian on the streets <br />Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching. <br />To be a smile on the face of a woman <br />And shine in her memory <br />As a moment saved without planning.<br /><br />Dejan Stojanovic<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/task-of-a-poet/
