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 (C) Copyright John Duffy Image shared under fair usage policy
