Closeted Intelligence Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

This is the kind of poem I respond to, and you have mastered its form and content. The central idea, the controlling principle is the free flow of energy throughout the universe. And occupying a figurative center is the human intellect absorbing this flow and then returning it but now marked with the signature of an individual - the poet - you. And if we're paying attention to your words we know by now that this process does not depend on our egos; it has its own energy, but it wants us to participate, to sign our name to our thoughts which will be carried through interior space to the intellects of so many others. And in that way the closeted intelligence becomes part of the whole shebang. And such is the origin of H-O-P-E.
