Poem: The Writers

The writers
the ones you’ve never heard of
the solitary ones without an audience
their goal isn’t fame or acclaim
they just write and write and write
down all their beauty scars
involuntarily like breathing
they can’t help themselves
so they write down
all the sorrowful
all the elusive
all the love lost
irretrievable moments
encapsulated microcosms
first love and last goodbyes
like snow falling diamonds
disappearing wondrous
rescued in memory’s frame
forever golden
all the honorable anonymous
all the living and dying
and trying and pouring out crying
but just a rare few
will ever read their words
