Once I met a poet, he was calm and he was wise And he showed me how the world was so much different in his eyes He carved whisper magic in the grey and solemn world A tapestry of images unfurl My poet watched the sun rise and he wrote down what he saw 'Twas a bruise, a smear, a sliver, then a bright vermilion roar He saw it as a poet might and smote them all away The willow chased the sun into the day The poetry grew stronger and he turned our world to rhyme I had to walk to keep us, he did word and he did line Although we have known hardship and his poetry runs thin My poet doesn't know where to begin Many years have passed, he's watching cricket once again There's nothing in the kitchen and there's nothing in his brain And I cannot forsake him even though he's lost his art For he is still a poet in his heart For he is still a poet in his heart
