I awake in the morning
my hands
wanting to get to pen and paper
eager to write
what I was dreaming about
when I awoke
half asleep went straight to my desk
grabbed pen
and in my oh so stylish
heh
stenographers note book
to write words
begging to be read immediately
they being the bright shining stars
they are
light from a void
even small things have substance
eh . . .
there is a sense of discarding
words leaving my brain
flowing through my fingers
onto paper
the ink seems to have a radiance
and . . .
as it dries
I feel your scar tissue
upon my heart

"I feel your scar tissue upon my heart"

That line is amazing! Had it been mine it would have pulled me out of bed to wrap a poem around it too! Way to go my friend!

Your enthusiasm for writing is tangible, and you never fail your reader. Yes, that last line is a beauty.
