Poetry book intro

I am an unknown poet, a no one seeking to write the ink well of inspiration dry
I write for the people surronding me
We are children of the earth, connected through the universe
These forces compel to put ink on paper
I want my poetry to inspire
When people read it, I want them to feel moved to tears
To have overwhelming fierce joy spring into their heart
All sorts of emotions burst forth from my page
My verse longs to be a torch
The bearer of my work can carry it
Ever so gently through dark, depressing times
And it will lift them up
To high places they've only dreamed about
Giving hope to cling to
Saving them from flooding torments
Be well assured my beloved reader;
No selfish ambition have I!
