the words live (for Karen)

the will to write
born with it
can’t describe it any other way
must
can’t stop
just as surely as
breathing
out it comes
with a flurry of flying fingers
wella
words hit the page
feelings, thoughts, ideas
descriptions
of what I see feel know
and so it goes
do I think myself an author
surely not
do I think of myself a bard
heavens no
poetess
can’t even pronounce that one
wordsmith
now that sounds good
picture, melting and banging
and holding up a horseshoe
full
of pretty lovely dribble off your tongue
words ah lovely words
all strung up
just so
the will to write
is
all
about words
they ring in my ears
they drip off my fingers
and then
they
live


a special thanks to so many that took the time to post a self portrait this day, it has warmed my heart to learn more about the people that have been so wonderful to me here. salute
