If you are a poet,
You already know it,
To words you forever are bound.
Your brain has them in there,
You must make them clear.
They're music without any sound.

You didn't pick them,
You cannot evict them.
They just keep rolling around.
They'll stay in your head,
You can't put them to bed,
Until you have written them down.

Absolutely true. One phrase, perhaps a title,
one lone figure on a beach, the dying of fire returning peach sunsets, or the feeling of white sand beneath my feet, and journal, I come running. So very well penned.

Darn it girl! That is what I have always wanted to say, and just didn't know how to say it! Great and right on to that!
