A Sophisticated Vow to Humanity


Noises are corners of the sea

To many to ignore

Yet enough to pour fourth

To create a lullaby,

A true artistic challenge

 

Words are words,

Carried by the sea

Inhaled through tragedy

And exhaled through poetry

 

It’s a work of art

That poetry,

A sophisticated vow to humanity

 

The laughs, the cries

 Are all equal in one

True beauty comes from the soul

 

The divine words bleed,

Bleed into the illuminated

Daunting paper

One yearns to reach,

To let out the inner fight

The inner degree

 

The world freezes, to obtain

The true glory of the maker

With rhythms of seas

And images to see

 

It’s a work of art

That poetry,

A sophisticated vow to humanity
