Poetic Rage

The poet awakes, restless, unable to sleep
The calling beckons, though tired and weak
Feverishly struggling to make sense of the gift
Scanning the crania for precious words to sift
Ink throbs in the quill waiting to press into page
Somewhere deep in the soul emerges poetic rage
Wisdom and message collide into harmonious rhyme
Hours vanish quickly, theres no care for time
Patience rewards, a new creation is spawned
The poet is spent, a new day has dawned
