Creative Fire Burns Within And Needs Stoking

Respecting the prehistoric fire

Very tired

Warming flames

For centuries, ignited the same

Look

Feeding off pages from a banned book

Lifelong lived

Reflecting upon the gift

Despite needing a supportive lift

Thinking a raven enter the home

Preying knowing inhabitant is alone

“Surprise!”

A speedy falcon cries,

Named Maltese

Spreading peace

Delivering red soup bowls

Since outside, it is very cold

Despite successful streets, paved with gold

Combatting a world, ready to fold

Then the quick bird

Spoke a word

Wanting to hear

Memories remembering cheer

Dancing and singing

Holiday bells ringing

Bringing

A sign

Stating, “its time

Future needs tender loving care

Your wisdom needs to be shared

What happened in the past

Due to information moving way too fast

Needs addressing

Youths are guessing”

Hearing the plight

Deciding comments were valid and right

Made the commitment to write

Leaving the fire

Quietly retired

Retreating inside the study

Idle computer still counts transfer balance money

Clearing a space

Pull out a typewriter, hiding in the carrying case

Pluck the keys

Ink ribbon works, see

Going old school

Simple and cool

Suddenly a mistake

Creates an eraser break

Remember the time it takes

Clean the sheet

Keeping the words readable and neat

Then the tower

Having super cyber power

Ask, “what did you trade?

Should you stay?

Old school

Simple and cool

Or

Devour the apple down to its core?

After taking the word processing tour?”

Now that the task is done

Confirming story telling can be fun

Reminding everyone

Freedom of speech

Is a concept to teach

From the borders to the beach

And especially, relaxing next to a fire

Retired

Having the time to distribute wisdom which is admired
