The Poetry of Poetry

I don’t write poetry 
I capture it in the world 
Where every fabric of existence
Is laced with eloquence
And just like a butterfly that flutters by 
I let it enter with me
As I open my heart wide 

Like the Catcher in the Rye 
When I see it I try to catch it 
Most of the time it escapes
But sometimes I’m able to snatch it
Dress it in rhythmical clothes 
Lock it up with words 

Then the world is not only 
Poetry that I can see
But now it’s something I can read
And when I read 
I Capture the feeling all over again 
Of being able to see
Of to believe 
That this world is grander than 
What we dream 

And that is poetry 
Not what you write 
But what you capture 
What you experience the meaning of life to be 
Finding the magical in reality 
Being awake and yet still living in a dream
