Michael Bassey Johnson Poet Free verse

Revival of the Muse

Arise! 
touch our souls with the words
Speak to our empty hearts
Spell our names with the tongue of wisdom
Sanctify our minds in the sanctum of sanctity

We summon the spirit of courage
Direct the heart to the purpose
Heal the wounds of laziness
Kick away vanity and dumb pursuits 

Precious flower of the poets
grow and wield your energy in us
Enter the core of our being
Stimulate our dying souls
to reconnect and establish 
an eternal reinforcement. 

We stretch forth our hands towards heavens
to recover the lost pearls
Of wisdom eternal
Of everlasting truth
and so be it.
