Real Poetry

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king. 
~JRR Tolkien, "Song of Aragorn"
 
That is real poetry.  That makes you think.  Inspires you.  Moves you.  That is beautiful.  And I love it.  Perhaps I should read some Tolkien...
