there are languages that come out
machine gunning nearby bystanders,
there are musical languages,
lyrical, melodic, rhythmic musical,
there are the guttural,
oft the most cultural,
that sound like a chemical formula
expressed in numeric notation,
so many languages, so many unwrit poems,
you, new poet, in every language,
use your natural affinity to language,
and all your altering emotions to test and improve
your comprehension of self-understanding
and the journey we all must travel daily…
begin to look outside yourself, the world entire,
nature, time, what makes humans unique, good,
and ****** your talent into new paths, new worlds,
new hopes…become an artisan, artist, wordsmith,
take your language, any and all languages, pour
uniqueness from every pore, examine you exteriors,
wield your tools like scalpels and hammers, drills
to break our crusted earth, our jails of humdrum,
commandeer the ship that sails through storms of
seas that would drown us, save souls, and start,
foremost and first, firing bursts, aiming to release,
give forth your due, paying your
dues
to journey on to being a well being, and
thrill all
who come along to share your storms,
and better to learn how to navigate
our own
