The vision of the nobel heart should never submit to the word crushers of sublime dreams~ We poets, we seers of a more perfect way do subscribe to a heavenly hope~ We see what can be achieved and say..why not~ Never mind that the world is rushing to its destruction Never mind that evil seems to be naturally entrenched into the very psyche and nature of the course of events~ We dream because the dream is the hope that a thousand heros have died for~ We squeeze the truth from every word as from a fresh yellow lemon, though sour to the mind it is sweetened by a yielding heart~ Mountains seem immovable yet we are not eternally commited to follow the same laws as do blind rocks~ Sleeping poets must awake to the call of creations song and contribute to the lyrics of cosmic wholeness~ In a world of a million chances take a chance..unearth the ancient dream~ Draw out the deeper meaning of timeless wounds..and replant paradise in a despairing world~
A great Russian poet Sergey Yesenin in his "The Poet" dedicated to the poet's divine calling which is living and dying in service of his people says the following:
He is the poet who destroys his foes, Whose mother is the truth and all its worth, Whose love for people is to brothers’ love akin, Who’ll suffer so that people’s cause should win. He'll easily attend to task and won’t refrain From doing what the others tried but failed. He is the people's poet, man of fame, He is the poet, poet of his native land!
I remembered it when you mentioned "sleeping poets" calling to them to awaken to the creations' song and contribute their lyrics and even life if required.
Thank you for sharing, best wishes!

Thank you Marikia..' Now why can't I write it as plainly as Yesenin?lol. I seem to be saying a lot of what he's saying but his stuff seems more to the point.

We squeeze the truth from every
word as from a fresh yellow lemon,
though sour to the mind it is
sweetened by a yielding heart~
Yes, may the poet's words help
replant paradise in a
despairing world~
despairing world~
Amen
