Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

A Somewhat Abashed Writer Reads From His Works

To assume the
stage
        takes a lot of nerve
To get up in front of a 
crowd
       And read what you have
written 
       is something which requires 
a little "chutzpah"
      But if the time is right
It's a good thing to do
       Let the light hidden
in the words
  Shine on the awaiting public
You only have a little time
         here anyway
So give them your perspective
Your outlook on things
       If the time is right
and if the ears
      are perceptive
   then you will 
see subtle changes
The future is an unknown quantity
      But if we share - if we share
then we will see
          that meaning comes through
and the small light kindled 
   may light the way
to the next dawn
