Who We Are

(I really love this poem. It's...poetry and the power of words and us all mixed into one. Hope you enjoy it!)

We are the poets of the world
Artists of the word
Creators of the rhyme
We see a million futures
In all the pasts left behind
We defy the definitions
But conform to form
We explore the outside edges
Where reality's been torn
We trespass into dangerous lands
We follow foggy paths to unplanned destinations
We set convention on its head
Inside out, upside down
We take practicality
And spin her 'round and 'round
We weave hormones into phrases
And neurons into stories
We speak of the unspeakable
We sing the unsung glories
We disect the alphabet
And cobble together new words
We listen to the colors
We see what has been heard
We halt the ticking clock
To examine all the facets of time
We use eloquence
To change the recesses of the mind.
We know the power that words can hold
They can start revolutions
And heal lost souls.
So welcome to our world
It's a priveleged few
Who know that boundaries are...boundless
And so are you.
