Alter Ego

Alter Ego flutters over earth on diaphanous wings

taking arrows from quiver, piercing scribes

aiming at the heart where creativity germinates

endowing writers with wrapped presents of voice

bestowing ability to look, perceive and permeate

experiences mixing and migrating unto others

exalting sacred words with wisdom and vision

mantras for living disseminated through phrases

enhancing ideas with tapestry woven with love

emotional healing for all supping their wisdom

magic carpet of anger and cruelty hitching a ride

pushed aside by words of tenderness and passion

super heroine Alter Ego becomes arrogant in power

Miss Ego circles critically close to smoldering sun

wings catch on fire in resplendent burst of glory

leaving writers and poets to carry on blazing ideals

evolving super heroes and heroines dispersing truth.
