Because I Am
Last night, you came to me in a dream
With a stanza the seemed to be out of this World.
You laid down.
I turned around.
And my first reaction was to try to awaken.
But then you showed me the rest of your stanza's.
Told me to take a journey with you.
We started at the Capital,
Then made it after a long Period.
You gave me more insight.
Because you exist,
I write.
With a burst of light that seemed to be out of this World,
You said, "This World is overrun
And bland,
And I need you to stand.
Because you are the Poet,
And I am the poem."
-Tayler Arnold
