When You Walk into the Room

Some people have a way of bringing out the best in others

When you walk into the room
all the poets feel a sudden urge to praise,
dancers want to move,
singers ache to raise their voices high
for all those times they
foolishly chose silence instead.
This impulse to express,
this surging forward into form
is absolutely involuntary,
tidal, primal, and pure.
The poet’s fingers twitch,
the dancer moves inside her shoes,
already receiving roses from
the grateful choreographer of her heart.
