Perceive Sacred Collective Immensity Of Poetry Poem by Terence George Craddock

the mystery of poetry
is burning incense
incense smoke
streaming up
from each
burning poem
flame lit
ignites swirls

up ascends
into heaven
poetry ascends
ignited in minds
a sea of poets
gifting passion

paid personal verse
rhymes spread across
an earth entire world
burning incense
sacrifice art
small flickering
offerings creativity
imitating God

on a small human scale
offering up sweet wisdom
crafted verses human
endured pain life records
released these are the mystic
mystery mind melding verses

all great poets
love to write
in individual forms
attempt to write
mystic mystery
mind melding verses
transfixed upon
lines rising

up instant
from ephemeral
ether this
is sacred
collective immensity
of incense poetry
