Whispers of soul

streams of emotional touches

beautify the living world .

They offer wisdom of thought

tranquility moments

or passionate excitement.

Lines and verses

enchant people's lives .

They are like rainy nights in winter

or sunny days in summer.

Being poetic

means offering your soul

to the universe.

A palpable evidence of yourself

in poetic words

for the sake of humanity.
