A Room Full
of Poets
There is no guarantee
what you will hear
but a lesson
is floating somewhere
in the mist of all that
intellectual ice cream
Love will be made
and hate dissected
within the same hallowed
halls
where a roundtable of
mental portraits
give essence to the process
of pen and paper interaction
Mind music will flow nonstop
where these purveyors of words
inspired by talking leaves
come together to give
community to random thoughts
and push beyond mediocrity
to a place reserved
for demi-gods
The discord of society
at large
will only sharpen their
pens
and toughen the skin
around hearts
caring and exceptional
The movement housed
within them
comes with historical
relevance
so time is not wasted
and the tears splashing
on their pages
represent more than
a passing moment
as tears of passion
mark their cheeks
like beautiful birth-marks
displaying murals of the soul
where the paint brush
is compassion
and the hues
the human condition
The dedication to their
craft
insures that their voices
will speak to generations
stopping here and there
to recite to the curious
but signing their names
upon the universal pact
of spiritual progress
Some will come from the gutters
of world opinion
still others from privilege
and prestige
but no matter
the testimony of their
journey
the written word inextricably
joins them
at the trading post
of ideals and dialogue
where they are able to
merge
into one gigantic vein
pumping life into eons
of tomorrows
in one well-thought
collaboration
These gatekeepers of
words
are too broad-minded
to claim territories
they know beyond doubt
that their soul force
leaves fingerprints
upon the eternal, evolving
mind
that the epiphanies
they awake to every
morning
divide and multiply
from what was
what is
and will be
so coming together
is an opportunity
to learn a higher form
of mathematics
