Dare I?

Dare I…put quill to parchment

bare my soul to all eternity

fearfully reach forward in time?

 

Dare I…set down in word lines

that may be quoted or misquoted

at the mere whim of a future reader?

 

Dare I…risk slanderous remarks

in future where I may not be free

to defend the truth of this bard?

 

Dare I…unburden thought and deed

as if in silent confession or concession

to the morality of tomorrow’s time?

 

Yes, dare I must…for I am Poet

I must compose as I draw breath

for writing is a bard’s lifeblood…

I'm so glad you dare, because my life and many others are enriched when you bare your soul. Lovely poem Fee.

Felix,it is perhaps the only brave trait many poets possess. The fortitude to lay bare emotions that will be interpreted, misinterpreted and enjoyed or despised by countless that will succeed us. Language will evolve and ours will become esoteric. Relevance will be lost for much our renderings through the tests of time. But when the ink flows onto the parchment it is too late. So boldness be my date when the moment to share seems right. I wrote a poem a long time ago, in the infancy of my poetic career that expressed many of the same thoughts you share here. Yours written with far greater expertise than mine. May peace love and joy be always with you my friend. Jon Michael

Fee,

Yes, as your last line states "Yes, I dare..for I am Poet, I must compose as I draw breath, for writing is a bard's lifeblood. And what we do without dear Fee's poetry? Quite incomplete. Keep on movin' the pen!

And you must dare because you are wonderful at it and because your poems are a gift to all who read them, and we all need courage, we just need to know how to sit up tall and say, if I might say something that I actually never do say out loud, "screw the world!"
Write on bardic Felix!
I'll be reading...
