The Fever of the poet


 

The fever of the poet can be too much to bear

that every word could be so full of meaning

that every sensation could ache so much

to become a poem

 

and that the path can be so easily lost

and you can find yourself suddenly

with only a memory

of that grand feeling

as if it was all a dream


and then with nothing to guide you

you must find that heavy heart again

if you want to truly live


but know at least this

that you can't be a creator every moment

for that is too much

and how the ground is lost.
