Inspiration - poets share it with others through their purity, love and light

When will human beings learn to behave in such a way as to bring peace, trust and joy to each other? The faces of those we see in the street or in shops, buses or trains have a closed, wooden, lifeless expression. Is it normal that human beings should manifest so little joy at being together, and inflict such a dreary, unpoetic spectacle on each other? Why do they not express a little more warmth and life? This is what true poetry is all about. True poets are not those who write verses, they are those who create poetry in their own life by striving to imbue it with purity, light and love. This is what it means to live in a state of inspiration. And when they achieve this, they also inspire others by sharing that purity, light and love.
