The Talented Tonight
By Jazelle Handoush
The talented are out tonight
Do you see them?
They shine as stars across the well-worded community, so bright.
They're a wonder and a worry, sky-diving and streaking light against otherwise ignorant eyes.
Like moths to a nearly-familiar flame, she calls and they (without consideration) come to answer this mysterious muse, each adding to the mixed amalgamated spectrum of inspiration and dedication.
How could such soul spilled upon page go dismissed?
While their inscriptions of inspiration vary by tone and message meant, there is a constant in their attempt; they make to master poetry.
"This, is made of us," for in each pondering a piece of them erupts.
And even eons away, we hear their musings, through virtual screens and scratching mics alike.
One line at a time they illustrate our ignorance of a world we unknowingly share, of moments and memories alike.
Do you know what its like to miraculously be saved by words scribed from a knowing mind? A mind of this moment in time?
It's a disease with symptoms of world-renowned awareness, a sin upon seeing what is otherwise without:
The power only a soul can possess.
Soon this infection spreads upon skins, teasing fingertips into creating a cosmic masterpiece.
These poets, they call, unite us, and so they streak upon a celestial sphere.
Do you see them?
They shine as stars.
The talented tonight.
