"Seeds of Reformation"

It has already begun
the swift elevation 
of metaphor, self revelation
echoes the transition
of other heralds

their grand symphony
of change singing 
like archangels calling 
in the...

We warrior poets
calligraphy ride boldly into the foggy fray
Our ancient, iron-will pens
