Writers
Singers and risk takers too charismatic
Ridiculously engaging or just totally enigmatic
Slightly strange to the straight card players and those obsessively
Who watch and read between all written lines
Driven by new compulsive urges
Of twenty-first century voyeurism
Or are we just old travellers from beyond the Great Green Hills of Avalon
Into this new age reborn
To have some more fun
Did our Guardian Angels
Collectively weep with profound joy
When we all found our old calling
Do they still quietly hold our soft hands to comfort us
Whenever we seem to be depressed or in pain
Happy or just falling
We'll never know all those answers
For they will only be revealed
When our time comes and we are suddenly recalled
We are not made of flesh
You know
But simply old souls
Eternally
Slipping and sliding
Slowly discovering new kin
Scattered throughout
Old Mother Gaia's mesh
Are you just like me
Another tiny beacon of divine light trying to hold back the infinite legions and hordes
Who endlessly weave
Whilst trying to seduce and deceive
Reading from their current forms of modern leather-bound grimoires
Filled with black spells
They mutter and yell in the midnight darkness
Can you feel that subtle electricity crackling all around you
It's just the universe celebrating all you do
For it doesn't matter about your gender
Creed
Colour or ethnicity
Just keep visiting that immense emotional well
The one you use as your Muse
Called your Emotional Reservoir
As you peel back the many layers
And just try to be the true you
Wherever you are
Just write poetry or something magical
Like you were playing a song on one of Princes
Many legendary Purple Rain guitars
And paint a hit record
With visually inspired
Compelling unforgettable words
To thank the Lord
That you have been blessed with gifts
To delve into emotional energies
Many avoid and leave unexplored
Keep writing
It may help someone lonely in a battle no one knows about
To give them the courage to love their life
And ignite their seemingly neverending darkness
By doing something so soul-fulfilling and exciting
It propels them to new heights and helps to extinguishes
Bouts of deep depression
Which constantly whisper
Stop Fighting
