~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

Thanking you,

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