One big happy family....wouldn't that be nice :)

It is not negligence on my behalf...nor is it yours 
It is the mere fact, of not enough time in a day 
It is not a beg for forgiveness...nor is it a forgiveness cry 
It is a knot, a knot that ties us to our robotic habits...work perhaps 
We the unknown...must show our faces 
Let others read our eyes...with no words spoken
Oh Silent One...can you hear me 
And Broken Wings Dear Heart, take our bandages and let them heal you 
Let Winged Warrior spread his love and light upon you... pass it on to others
Let the Sunshine's Smile warmthin you 
Let the Lyric Man's songs bring music to your ears
And finally, when the Poet Doctor...comes knocking at your door 
Let him in, welcome him...show him gratitude 
The only medicine we need...is one another 
We are he, and we...are all together 
We are poetry

Thanks, Charles for this very creative piece. I think this is an amazing "thought". Also, I am honored by your comment. FYI: The Old Timer is fictional.

Being together is stronger than being apart. What holds poets in one place?? Love, respect, understanding and honesty. You have a wonderful heart Charlie. Thank you for always being here, even if through the wind sometimes. You are appreciated. We are family here at Poetry Soup, or we should be. Through our words, each beat of our hearts. ~ Brandy

Charles, you have penned a very meaningful and wonderful poem, well done, yes lets be one big happy group of poets sharing our art with no negativity, just growth, I am happy to help any poet new or old in anyway I can( even if my kindness is not returned, I cannot become the thing I dislike.) I hope and pray my poetry heals any sad soul, even if it just shows them that they are not alone in what they have experienced in life.

In the words of Muhammad Ali... 'Me. We.' Your sense of community and fellowship is admirably expressed here, Charles, nice one.

Those words...'sting like a bee ('Me. We') but let them 'fly like a butterfly' to everyone's ears. Thank you, Lawrence.

This was so subtle and sweet. A lovely tribute, and you are right. What is a poet without poetical friends who read her or his poems? "we are he, and we...are all together. We are poetry." This was a wonderful poem within a wonderful poem, Charles.

You did a wonderful job of conveying the type of supportive community poets come to Poetry Soup to find, Charles. I heard there was some negativity recently. That has happened from time to time over the years, but many of us stay here for all the positive qualities you described so well. Very nice, Charlie! Hugs, Carolyn
