While waiting for a speaker to take his position at a local writers conference, I had time to scribble a few lines on a notepad.


Towers of intellect surround me


As creativity flows through the air.


A shadow of apprehension baits me


While turbulent eyes start to stare.



O guarded passion do not fail


The muse has taken material form.


Strap on my courage and hit sail


For papered words have gathered in swarm.



Open my opportunity now


And let the words transcend.


Floating inward to those who allow,


Meeting whatever end.
