Benediction for Poets

Commit then
To the endless

Wrangle with words
It is not

That words win
But that such partners

Ever prove
Lack to the task

Commit then
To the endless

Wrangle with words
All we hear

Of the heart’s song

Captive then the poet, ensnared in the tangle of syllables, helpless to break free?

Or is the captive is eagerly beguiled, instantly bewitched by siren words. Willingly or un is irrelevant. Poetry is. Enrapt in the blissful tangle, the poet woos and coaxes until man and word are complete.
