With words

with words again
I am reborn
they mold and shape
then take their form

they sing a song
that's truly me
struggling now
to be set free

I hold them back
against their will
close my eyes
they fill me still

I hold the paper
at my side
words jump right out
together we ride

it goes one way
then another
precisely like
a selfish lover

I now let the words
have their way
just hold the pen
the ink will obey

with ink and paper
words ignite
consumed in the flames
I write

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare

the spirit speaks
the words come
and we write. . .

Yes, I have felt this way, words, they are sometimes the last weapon we have, may we always use them only in kindness and love.

With pen and paper we write, setting our spirits free. May the soar to new heights.

I like the way you put on this piece, with ink and paper, since i caught a glance at the orginal and it was done on paper before you typed it up on the computer. Just think all this money i have invested in computer equipment.. i still have to go by ink pens and paper...lol

Nice write about writing, it could be a poem, it could be short story, it could be words on paper about anything...
Nicely done

Beautiful write Helen. Sometimes what we write helps us to anylize things more easily and through this we make things more clear.
Well done
