So I Write , A Reply

Dare we share this moment, these words , poetic verse tonight?
 faithful singers on universal prose connected stages
Allowing our respective hearts to bleed and inspiringly write
 placing comfort and gaining solace instead of human rages
  gifting kindness and joy , gentle in spirit of sharing

Twisting balloons filled with love, joy and gifts written
 waiting to be gathered by eager waiting hands
Of gentler spirits that hear the call and simply obey
 sing, sing the tune that flavors your generous heart
  sling down the words bringing poets together rather than apart

Dare we pierce our hearts to so stain the precious gift?
 faithfully stirring our souls to wrap the world
Stand in place and enjoy the majesty of gifted golden words
 fire the ovens of laughter and mirth to bake delight
  think, give , joy and write, write this very night
