Gentleman Of The Art

Gentleman Of The Art

I, 
Who to many in my many 
Encounters, have only ever appeared 
To be a mystery

A fracturing of the glass from within 
And yet still I toil 
To rise from this mortal coil
In a prophetic yet poetic way

To understand and to be understood
To liberate and yet still to be liberated 
I breathe with the breath of enigma

A symbol to the droves of lost souls 
Whose...company composed 
Of freaks and poets and artists
May find themselves estranged 
On the shores of obscurity 
From which heaven still begs a heartbeat...
Well I say
Trod on good poet (or artist or freak)

Your art is your pacemaker

This was classic, genuine and doesn't ask to be appreciated. I think that in order to lead other's you definitely have to be a keen observer and able to articulate what you see clear enough to make a sound judgement. Great job my friend.

I agree, you must be of sound mind to be a leader. If not you become blind only fated to lead the blind. Blesses, my brother.
