poets, prophets and storytellers

When in the presence of poets, prophets and storytellers,
I, in silent rapture, listen and learn.
I prefer the company of seekers, weavers of words and mystery...
they don't hide behind facades-
rather, they chance pain,
they risk disappointment
and for their bravery-more often than not-
they are rewarded with glimpses into all that is
wonderful, real and pure.
Poets, prophets and storytellers...
they are my heroes.
