For The Immortals

~~There are men and women, poets, who attempt to stop the inertia towards conformity to boredom. This poem is for them~~

Immortals disguised as tour guides
At the gates of the prison
E
yes searching for capable souls
Who grasp the pleasures and pains of creation

Poetry scribbled by idle hands
While minds waddle aimlessly

Sometimes wandering
Against the outer walls of beauty
Against the razor-wire of thought
Of discovery

Most times meandering
Through the mazes of everydayness
Though the swamps of  tedium
Of Indifference

Stragglers pausing
Along the road to vapidity

Nomads rambling
Within the tunnel to monotony

Hoping against hope
Immortals slowly dying
Unsure which side of the gates we belong

Yet we place these words
In swaddling clothes
Hide them in a manger
In hopes that they will one day save the world

"Nomads rambling
Within the tunnel to monotony"

Far too often in life, we see those nomads, and long to pull them to some meaning in their own life - to keep them from that very tunnel which leads to nothingness. Wonderful write.

A hard write I think but done with excellence. To capture the heart of a true poet is not easy but you have accomplished it well with this piece of poetry.

Powerful stuff, Eddie. It appears to me the muse found you again or, you found her. Love and peace. Regis
