A Poet

Michael A. McGuire

I will never be anything less than a Poet:

a servant and shaper of the Soul!

I will stand firm between the portals of

time and record each golden moment with

my witty verse and sculpting rhyme!

When pain is present, I'll paint your thoughts

chaotically with dark and weary strokes; and as

light once again caresses my mind, I'll color

wondrous words to make you cocky, even boast!

No! I will never be anything more than a foolish

dreamer: an outcast of society and slave in reality's

merciless grasp!

A true poet until death!

    Michael, I can get behind this declaration. 😂 Poet as witness, troublemaker, dreamer, and occasional fool...I'll gladly take the job. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
