Should I ramble now, or hold these thoughts here inside where they rest, residing in dormant places; or let them flow from pen to paper? Dormant, my visions have been for so long locked within but unknown to me as to reasons of why. The silence in the air lingers so, although all that surrounds is turned up as loud as it can possibly go but still.... the quiet is found within {and what will be, will be...} I had begged, I had pleaded but tonight? Tonight, I did not ask, no, I nary even gave thought to the writing of words the voice of inner steadily increased in volume until all other sounds were diminished into a distant back round, and I, though being aware of their existence no longer acknowledged them. This prevailing need took precedence to a moment seemingly predetermined, no longer to be repressed.... days having passed, a muse in isolation, enduring this separation of thoughts, no longer flowing. {Sweet release would be welcome} The mind says, the pen can not, will not write, but my soul screams you must.... You must.... Today, I did not think to write, but the need told me that it was time.... |

"The mind says, the pen can not, will not write, but my soul screams you must.... You must...." It's a release when it comes...and when it doesn't it's like a dark place in the mind. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

When we insist on getting what we WANT, our words never seem to satisfy... but when the NEED is there, the words flow. *S* This is beautiful! *S* |

-- and I am so glad that you did write. You show so much of "you" with each word, line and poem. It's a beautiful "you" to see and share. Thank you, GS. A |

the voice of inner steadily increased in volume until all other sounds were diminished into a distant back round, ~*~ Now this...THIS is an excellent play on words, and adds so much to the depth of emotion, to this very need.... |
