Destiny

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

In a deep writing rut that said why write Poetry, nobody cares. I seen a Jimmy Santiago Baca, TV showcase, about the calling of Poet Tree, and it set me in motion, with the poem, “Destiny.”

The Circle The Center The Compass The Spokes;
Poets revolving, evolving poetry, around the world with words

Poem Artwork

Destiny

Whole inner bearing,
dost thou dye,
lone cry,
lesion lye voids
Scabs worn,
inside pin pricks,
echo hollow rein
lime ping drops
Mime heart murmurs,
bequeath sordid
cement pit entrenchments
Dye,
dye,
dye thy words,
grit desolation dearth
die despondence.

Why believe,
wry hope,
thee America Dream ~
be rhyme busted
Scattered name,
scattered Rembrandt’s,
“Night Watch”
Poet sigh
Poetry Sentinel
Democracy Guardian,
be Dead Poet
Society crypts
Skeletal brittle bone fingers,
decomposing serf doom
dost castes.

Preponderance power,
assimilates idiosyncratic
Freedom and Liberty
Poet Tree be rooted,
born within thy people,
to arise above
cast shackles
From hell hole
inner being,
live seeds
be germination
that sprout forth hope
Arteries branch,
revitalizing veins,
Where Poetry’s HeART
becomes alive
“Destiny.”

I guess we all take root eventually in the longer move about, rootless. But then we are but hashes returned deeply to the ground to sprout again.
