To My Fellow Poets

Do you have to learn to live half alive,

Finding comfort only in what you understand?

Do you have to sit in the middle of a problem,

While the rest of the world wonders why the answer hasn't been found?

Do you have to stop because of pain,

When the others are wandering lost and afraid?

Is the answer in waiting to learn,

Or learning to wait?

Can the solution be helping in small ways,

Or is it only thinking of small ways to live?

Do you live small,

Or do you reach out with only a word?
