Moody Black's People

surrounded by incredibly 
talented 
oracular 
spectacular individuals
bonded by word 
spoken
yet  heard to the third....
Power!
awake 
within the stillness
this hour 
harmonically invested
spiritual benevolence 
fuels their army of relevance
  
the rarest  people you'll meet
standing up for freedom
feet to the street 
sharing their fearless soul
with body and mind aligned
complete
in control

*(dedicated to Moody Black's Upstate S.C. Poetry team, and Dr. Richard Moss)

Joey, I can give it a try, but I believe I've done that before. What happens is that I will think of a line and it leads to a rhyme and then I have to run and get my rhyming dictionary to be sure I am picking the absolute best words available. I can't write like you do. Truly, I am not a poet much of the heart (with runaway feelings), but of the mind (and I have to ponder and ponder each line).
