When Poets Cry

Let the world hear when poets cry
A celestial frequency
Steered beyond the boundaries of time
Streamlined with global urgency because
Poets will give you a shadow of the past and the future

When poets cry
They try to show the value of a moment!
Often poets cement a truth filtered through time

When poets cry
Words are poured out
Clearing out all the clout
This may be about some joy or some pain

Let the world hear when poets cry
A celestial frequency
Steered beyond the boundaries of time
Streamlined with global urgency because
Poets will give you a shadow of the past and the future

Mark, this is exquisite...ethereal, even. The second stanza is especially poignant, to me.
