An Inditing Poetic Pen
The dripping poet’s pen
is a ready tongue
excited to be heard
by curious eyes
seeking enlightening
through imaging words
of a contemplative mind;
metaphorically
visioning cosmic truths
from the cistern
of revealing wisdom;
timing life on earth
between the light
of living and the darkness
of death—both given
equal justice—yet
its equity in living life
is not as in dying death,
for death is not prejudice
and can’t be blamed
that free at last is deemed
be in her, rather than in birth.
