The Poets Life Poem by Jim Boone

We are the lyricists
The purveyors of imagination
Scribes who record emotions
And passions many facets
Explorers who go forth daily
To discover a new thought
A new reaction, a new love
For we choose to Live life
And share the living with
Those who do not or can not.

We travel to rainbow ends
Experience life first-hand
Crash and burn
Rise from the ashes
Return and depart in tandem
Go for the lofty views
Stroll deserted beaches
Listen to surf siren songs
of voyages taken or yet to be.

We’re life lovers, life wrestlers
with night-vision and day dreams
The movers and shakers
The envelope pushers
The risk caretakers of this world
Forever and forever it seems.

Indeed, the Poets life (time and lines)
Is a carnival, a great expectation
That is dying from first breath, or a
Challenge that is coming to birth.
