The Mage

 

(A lone voice whispers)


Above all, like a form of intriguing divine magic


Vibrate in a form of insubordination, and write


Express anything 

From good to tragic 


Try to be an inspired instrument of grassroots resistance 


To help others recover their power


For are you not a poet, writing about your experiences of walking, 


The dark parapets and sun filled staircases 


Of the Universes, many castles, and towers


Don't you want to be a part of one of the most avant-garde written movements in history 


To flow down through Times, many fast-flowing rivers


With millions of other white paper boats 


Symbolizing poetry 


To be a burning sage on someone's minds door 


To help them begin, the ancient cleansing ritual of purification 


They might need


When they look into your soul's mirror
