Dearest Poetry
All things yearn for love and light
You are the light of all things
You are the love of the universe

Dearest Poetry
You carry boundless love
You bring eternal light
All things bathe in the embrace of light and love
In your harbor, they bloom in their most beautiful form

Dearest Poetry
You are a cosmic angel, made into verse
From beyond the firmament, you descend upon the world
With the heart as a gate
with love as a key
with poetry as a bridge
you unite the community of shared future for mankind

Dearest Poetry
You are the messenger of love and peace on earth
Let poets from all around the world
carry the most beautiful language of this blue planet
to the firmament

Dearest Poetry
You are the mirror of the world
You reflect the joys and sorrows of all beings
With gentle compassion, you soothe every heart
With diamond strength, you awaken the world

Dearest Poetry
You are the truest voice beneath the firmament
From the depths of poets’ hearts
you reach into the souls of all
You enlighten all beings, you awaken every heart

Dearest Poetry
You are a ray of light from the higher realms
You are a wisp of love from the Universal Mother
You shine upon every corner of the earth
Poets take you as their mission
to bless every sincere reader

Dearest Poetry
Every smiling face that reads your words
every reverent bow of hands
every heartfelt joy—
these are the truest love and gratitude for you!
