Features: Poetry is something gained through closeness, something gained through devotion. Like a blind person sensing the myriad sounds, the poet uses their hands to touch and hears the sounds that ordinary people cannot. For the poet, writing and reading poetry is a path that penetrates the hustle and bustle of life and reaches the tranquil sanctuary of the soul; or perhaps, poetry itself is the tranquil sanctuary for settling the mind. In this way, readers, learn to listen with your heart to the unique serenity and tranquility that poetry brings us.
