Poetry, Our Intimate Voice

Poetry is the push behind
the wave – the brilliance
sparking light – 

the poet, a wonder-er 
and wanderer...drawing 
illumination from wells 
of glistening shadows – 

never pondering 
the where and when, 

his focus always toward, 
the Almighty How...

Never seeking the there and then, 

making of complex mysteries
bite-size, digestible pieces --  
compositions of an omnipotent God's, 
ever illusive, Eternal Now...

no work of mere description
will do...

each ensuing articulation, an evolution – 
as Darwin observed his Galapagos, 
like so, all creation evolves by man's 
conscious and unconscious sensing  – 

               The poet, no predetermined
puppet; but, in fact, a Literary Diviner – 
believing his practice – man's personal
enunciation through his ever 
greater
revelation
of words – 
                        
     dipping his fanciful
quill into the ink of a 
publishing universe – dripping 
reams of infinite pages – poetry,
our intimate voice of never-ending 
possibilities...
