~THE FRINGE PEOPLE~





Who are these people who live on the edge?


Round pegs in square holes that refuse to be wedged


March to their own drummer, that pounds in their heads


Eyes closed to the skies as they soar straight ahead





The artists, the poets, musicians, and dreamers


The writers, the sculptors, creative believers


They exist in the world, while they thrive on the fringe


Where their hearts bound and leap, and creation begins





As different as oil and vinegar are


As near as your sibling, yet far as the stars


Their numbers are legion, their manner oblique


Unique in their style, and creative techniques





Touched by a fire to escape and create


While the day to day tasks in life have to wait


Their focus is captured in intimate dimensions


Don't dare to intrude, its beyond comprehension





Their talent a gift, on loan in this life


A sharing of spirit, beyond this earth's strife


A link universal, this nexus for man


Given thru eons, throughout every land





Maybe the answers lie in their ways


To find in creation an ascension day


And leave a legacy for this earth and our times


And thru their arts, towards heaven, humanity can climb





Anita

Excellent meter and rhyme
I love rhyming poems that don't sound
immature or amateur.
This is just that kind and unique. Bravo.
