the life of poetry
poetry dies one word at a time
while your muse is quietly singing
& you ignore her song
shut it up, bottle it tight
because it's foreign music
notes you don't recognize
until you find yourself slightly swaying
to it's hypnotic beat
with a knowing of the words
as they come alive on the page
a brand new creature
is born into the world
though you can't mother it
from birth it has a life of its own
touching peoples minds
& entering their souls
becoming a part of who they are
this is when poetry's magic happens
when for an instant
someone is captivated
a recogntion of a thought or feeling
it germinates in another poets being
& is given birth to again
then brand new feelings are stirred
as we move one another
a poem at a time
