Praise be given to the deep thinkers, bards, writers, singers, and yarn spinners. By sharing their fears and emotions, they speak to both losers and winners. Talented wordsmiths use witty words to generate feelings in the heart. And allow us to experience the emotions they wish to impart. Thank the artists who've taught us to see, for they've opened humanity's eyes. And as a collage of kindred souls, poets ensure free thought never dies. We grasp onto the reality of our existence with a firm grip. And yet, storytellers and seers encouraged us to let that grip slip. Awe tends to fade with maturity, doubting the miracles we have seen. By sharing a lifetime of stories, dreamers help us see past time's smoke screen.

Ah, the truth of this poem is exhilarating. I love the last stanza particularly, for it pulls the theme together for a nice conclusion in "dreamers let us penetrate time's smoke screen." You do these so well, Emile.
