AN ASSEMBLAGE OF SYMBOLS
�By Steve Martinez ([email protected])
An assemblage of symbols forever captured in time
Carefully crafted with reason and rhyme.
Thoughts frozen on paper, released to be read
By some, with their coffee, still others in their bed.
With harmonious superfluity, serendipitous flight
Intellectually arranged throughout a coffee-filled night
Shapeless becomes tangible. Can it be growing still,
Flowing freely from ephemeral muses, or at will?
The travail of the writer placing pen to the page;
Smiling, evil grins, lexiconical rage.
Will it e�er be completed? Will it e�er be heard?
What motivation makes �e�er� become a word?
Is it self-aggrandizement, self-serving, selfish
Composing creations one never would wish
To be read by another, let alone be compared,
Revealed, respected, reflected, revered?
A talent unused by the bearer of same
Is a talent rejected from whence it came.
The Giver of Talents awaits patiently observing.
Shares are increased to those most deserving.
So, writer, please write. Singer, please sing your song.
Actor, please act with your heartfelt and strong
Emotions unfurled, head held high unrepentant.
And, you? What have you withheld, earthly tenant?
