The "Why" I Write Laying hidden, softly, out of view and sound rumbling intently, growing gently from heart's mound convenes a word, coupling with another, just until it pours forth, gigantically, as if in a swell. This action forces one to take a pen in hand and write, poetically, something fine and grand but the mind hangs back as the heart pours forth wondering if the words will take their rightful course. For the mind knows what the heart yet does not that the words now penned will soon be forgot ~ a vacancy will then lie in the open hearts' well, but give it a moment, let it sit just a spell and again it will pour forth with words enamoured of love and life and countless here-afters, moments of time thrust into a black hole, become void as gilded letters to paper refuse to be destroyed. To impart that shift of air so the perfume stings, to extol the bell so the chimes doth ring, to hesitate, slightly, so the words come slow to touch the heart of the reader, there, just so. To allow another to see a love's true course, to capture the exhilaration of a wild and free horse, to allow the sense of quietude in a babe's soft sleep, to share with one the shadows of loves' fill, deep. Anguish comes to one, many, sometimes comes to all when they hear inside the words, know they have the call and yet, when written, it only sounds trite, so banal ah yes, anguish comes to many, sometimes comes to all. But, laying hidden, softly, out of view and sound rumbling intently, growing gently from heart's mound convenes a word, coupling with another, just until it again pours forth, gigantically, as if in a swell. And the poems thunder on. 7 September, 1999 ©KRJ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Excellent!! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

And you're doing it so well I mean the writing, besides other things you do Love it Hugs and.... The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |
