John DuffyASY Poet Rhyme

The illumination of the soul

(A lone voice whispers)


As a person, you must know

Deep down 

You're part of one of the most spiritually 

Illuminating 

Literary movements there has ever been

A gift sent to you for self-expression from The Great In-Between 

A means to pull down old towers with new or old siege hooks

Open closed doors
By maybe writing a blog or book 

To walk through anthills and moors

Of poetic stanzas

To find who you really are 
As you pause and really look

For above all things
Magic in poetry is real

A form of rebellion from the mundane

A resolution 
A Bonanza 

To push back boundaries in a form of grassroots resistance 

To power and social control
 
To be able to purge the destructive nature of humanity and the need to share its beauty

To those watching on patrol 

As they go 
For you are so gifted

So never be afraid to share your Illumination of the soul

For someone somewhere
Always needs to be lifted
