The Bard of Avalon
Poet
The Poet is the keeper of inspiration - the skill which brings the soul of the listener to the point of vision, of rest, of stillness.

The Poet may convey bravery and despair, holiness and evil. The truth as the poet sees it.

The Poet may be judge, seer, shaman, storyteller or entertainer.

The Poet may speak in a language known by few, but understood by all. A language of riddles and symbolism, rich in metaphor.

The Poet creates the poem in a certain way, for a particular purpose - to ensure that the essence of the meaning will be clear to all.

So, may poetry help us to find our Avalon, bring us nearer to understanding our innermost being. For your soul will see, and will guide you there.


Poem:
The Forsaken Merman, Matthew Arnold
