POET INCARNATE

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

I wonder now
who next will marry my thoughts
and transform the material
that constantly still
filters through the voluminous doors
leading unto the creative chambers
of my otherwise mediocre mind
flickering like
heaven sent fire flies
upon the pages of
so many over crowded journals
will the centuries in turn
manage to dust themselves off
and make their appearance
even more memorable
to future readers
I smile to the notion
that quite possibly
flowers yet planted
will bloom in the light
of the pleasures
that were only just written
upon these selected pages of mine
whether to comfort or confront
the issues that teased,
tantalized and or tortured
this 'Poet Incarnate'
until peering off sightless
I quietly lay down my pen
these are brothers
to the many words
that have visited me
upon my near every thought's whim............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Was contemplating the far off distant future earlier this evening and wondering what writing all this poetry as I have done so for a great many years of my life, will achieve. If it will mean anything or if my words will just be another literary shooting star only noticed by a modest few. I did wonder if perhaps my even thinking upon this subject was just my ego peeking out and seeking a little recognition. Not to worry though, for I will defeat that wily creature ego. He will be buried again long before morning's first light. Anyway, enjoy the read.......oh and thanks for stopping by.
