The poem comes in the form of a blessing — like rapture breaking on the mind — as I tried to phase it in my youth. Through the years I found this gift of poetry to be life-sustaining, life-enhancing and absolutely unpredictable. Does one live, therefore, for the sake of poetry? No, the reverse is true: poetry is for the sake of life.
