A Preacher or a Poet?

A personal frustration.

How can I reconcile
between a verbal, boistrious preacher
and a quiet, humble poet?

I seem to be one yet,
two.

The words are always there as
as a river running pure and free.

But then -
someone reminds me:" Your that preacher".

"A poet?
That cannot be".
