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
