For All Of Us
I am not a poet
I am not a writer
I'm a scribbler
of fable fantastic parables
a weaver of calligraphy
a seamstress of
rhetorical clairvoyance
same as the next who
bleeds from their pen,
Just a harbinger
of sorrow
a bearer
of light
a cloaked
memory suppressed
waltzing in my archives,
no better than the next
no lesser than you
a soothsayer we be
always embellished
and misconstrued,
craftsman and
mother quills
ordained from
divine light
driven to drop
knowledge
even if our stars
refuse to shine
even if are notion
of love remains
bound and buried
for all of our time,
we don't do this
for recognition
or to heal what's already
made us strong
we scribe cause
in the end
it's the only song
that needs to be sung.

Many truths are revealed in this poem and I believe fully in your words as well written here.
Since you have requested "Honest Critique", I hope you accept the following in the manner I offer it:
The word 'are" in the 4th stanza should be "our", if I am reading as I perceive it to be written.
Also, the last two lines "it's the only song that needs to be sung". To me, this sounds a bit conceited, as if no other art form matters. I would suggest it be changed to: "it's our song and it must be sung" or something along this line.
In closing, I will take this opportunity to say although I do not always leave comments, I have enjoyed much of you work and look forward to more of the same.

Thank you Amorous It's funny you mention that I originally had "our" implemented I changed it cause I always get the two confused. Thank you again 👍🏼
