Not Alone
I am ancient, though in soul, aren't we all?
You only need a spark of light to see that you are not alone
Gather together the sparks igniting in your night
Pile them into a flowing blaze of pulsing verse
That quivers with the beat of your dark essence
Burn the night into daylight and embrace the muse within
Let the expressions of your heart be reflected on your face
For the horizon in your eyes reveals a heavenly sunrise
There is more life waiting to be consumed by your soul
So take another bite then it cannot swallow you whole
You only need a spark of light to see that you are not alone
Gather together the sparks igniting in your night
Pile them into a flowing blaze of pulsing verse
That quivers with the beat of your dark essence
Burn the night into daylight and embrace the muse within
Let the expressions of your heart be reflected on your face
For the horizon in your eyes reveals a heavenly sunrise
There is more life waiting to be consumed by your soul
So take another bite then it cannot swallow you whole

JJ, I love this poem and you. You are the no nonsense writer I strive to be, but am no where near. <3 P.S. You are never alone!

THANK YOU A! This started out as a message to a friend here on DU and just wrote itself into a poem. I wasn't intending to write one but inspiration can be that way... Don't underestimate yourself, you're on my list for a reason! JJ

Man is an ancient race,
to embrace our inner expressions
as we were meant to be, reveals much.

Thank you for commenting Kasai! For as long as humans have existed we have expressed ourselves in our art... Ancient cave paintings and sculptures from long before we had written word, I wonder if they had spoken word poetry before we had an alphabet to write it down... open air poetry reading in the echo cave at sundown tonight, be there or be square! Cool... JJ
