Now is the time we need to ring

like angelic choirs,

our writing reaching zions peak,



We are the free-floating embers from the fire,

the bodyless souls of aged wisemen,



We are the ignition,

we just need ignited,

we can burst into heavenly rings

becoming candles over the heavens.

That's beautifully transcendent. Imagine being so high as to be above the heavens. I'm dizzy just thinking of the prospect.

Thanks for the share

MSJ it was going to be about love, but no its about prophets and poets in hiding afraid of their craft,
I'm telling the poets and leaders to become ignited and serve their goal,

thank you msJ for the great comments, where's all the commenting going people are on here?

[erikestabrook]

just to write a quick freeform poem with intense imagery
