At what stage do we pass the age for heroes?
I’d say never:
To be more than we’ve been, we must believe
It’s possible
Intensely personal, it is; as even
Imperfections
Become a part of why that persons shines
So much for us
Be it in music or in words; in love or
Understanding –
Be they a he or she or not, nor audience
Commanding –
At what point do we pass the place of needing
Elevation?
In what reality are we not bound
To everyone?
For we all need our heroes, we all need our
Inspirations;
To recognize the good in us that some would
Have us miss
Although, were we to follow cynics home, we might
Discover
A closet, in the back somewhere, containing their
Own idols
