For Poets


Stay beautiful
but don't stay down underground too long
Dont turn into a mole
or a worm
or a root
or a stone
Come on out into the sunlight
Breathe in trees
Knock out mountains
Commune with snakes
& be the very hero of birds


Don't forget to poke your head up
& blink
Think
Walk all around
Swim upstream


Dont forget to fly
