Can you write words
That do not dance
But still have power
That simply hang like thunderclouds
Cumulonimbulus
Full of force and highly charged
But giving no rain
Simply hanging in the sky
Perhaps moved by the wind
Holding in the pain
Can you write words that flow
Like a river dammed
Holding still and rising
Waiting till the time is just right
To turn the soul’s dynamo
Can you write words that sit silently
Like a seed
In the soil of the heart
Patiently stalking the moment
When maturity gives
Birth to bloom
And shapes the form
Of the flowering soul
Write them then
These words
That will cause the angels To stand
Silently in awe
These words that will unlock
The gates of hell
And move the demons
To prayer
The Flawed Guru
