To the Reader: Poem

We write to connect

With the waiting hand

On the other end.

We write out of the talent,

Not to satisfy the poet’s egos.

We are not seeking awards.

We are not bragging about citizens’ rights

For our personal legal copyrights.

We acknowledge the Earth

Contributing the energy of poetry birth.

It is not to achieve,

Compare, or complete.

We are making poems to read

And to connect with the hand

On another end.

We connect to wire

The writing art with fire

Within the memory

And the contemporary ceremony

For waiting wings

To be released the side links

Of the life connectivity

As a sign of growing horn

Of visual vital creativity.
