Writers That Have Come Before

Writers that have come before
Sing to me
Oh muse of lore
I see them sit there down before me
Still
In semicircle
Gathered
Filled
With words
And phrases
Songs
Like mazes
Getting lost in lustful blazes
They sing to me
Their pens and papers
Writing out their hearts desire
Sending to my mind a pyre
Of inspirations lustrous bonfire
Edgar
Robert
Even Virgil
Emily
Whitman
Wordsworth
Coleridge
Come to me
All who dapple
To change the world
With words
And garble
Separate me from my cage
And whisk me to your eternal place.
