This poem is not part of the American Poet contest.
I just got restless from not writing all week and
inspired by what I've seen. This is dedicated to EVERYONE
who became part of something unseen before- The American Poet

It was into the great unknown
that I threw myself into.
A chance was taken
with no guarantee it would pay off.
A voice cried out of the wilderness.
It called out for the artists
to dream and reach to heights
never before dared.
A challenge was given.
It started with one voice
and was soon joined by
the voice of many who
became one, one in a single-minded
purpose- to create art for
all the world to see.
Souls were stretched to their
limits in this quest to
create beauty out of the chaos
that life itself is.
Beauty indeed was created.
I was there to witness
as each voice sang in harmony,
singing the sweetest song.
It was a symphony unheard of before....
and the song is not over yet,
there are still more notes
to be sung.

To everyone involved with American Poet
I want you to know that I am proud of
you and I feel like a kid at Christmas!
Thank you!

JT,
you planted the seeds. I only watered them and watched them
grow.
