REVELATION OR INSANITY

REVELATION OR INSANITY

What will choose to be written
What will call for recognition
Lured to pen or screen
Hunger for chronicle’ization

Called from the land of the “not yet”
To be splashed on the pages of “here now”
Thumbed to my iPhone as “freshly arrived”
From the “forever Cue’d” to the “soon to be read”

I was not expecting you at 7:45am 
I freed a brother at 4:39am this same day
There are others with screens lit
Pens hovering
Feel free to use a portal other than myself

I find little glory in a scribe position
Transferring the already formed
From unseen to seen
Little glory or esteem

Would that I could return to that time
When I thought of myself as a Poet
As a creator of literary works
An Artist

First: the revelation, Autonomy of words
Second: recognizing words are alive
Third: realizing all is already written
Forth: acceptance as just one of many portals of arrival

Another possibility!
The pressure of all the words has initiated insanity, “Bonkers, batty, cuckoo, lights on but nobody home”

Uh oh..........

This has made me chuckle as I do use poetry as a portal to clear the nonsense in my head. No doubt all of us on here are a bit cuckoo beep beep ?

At one time I could have been labeled as Cuckoo. but my wife informs me I am now way past that mile marker .
So I babble for the pleasure, Thank you for sparing the time to read.
