For me, for my spirit, my
muse
writing is so much about
capturing the lightning, the
sparks,
seeing the words, the
constellations,
points of light against the
black sky,
the mind’s eye of
unconsciousness
dreams retained, written,
scribed,
knitting the words into the
tapestry,
the fabric they were meant
to be
gossamer wings and steely
gravitas
blended or plucked from the
ether
The ether collected, as if
in a net
gaining form, substance
before me
gathered upon a permanent
page
saved for eternity, a
purpose
such is the process of
inspiration
finding the words, already
stitched together
written in heaven, upon
stones
woven tight with strong
bonds
phrases and thoughts tied
together
already formed, ready to be
discovered
seen and scribed, printed
onto the page

“seeing
the words”
about
writing poetry, when it is a gift of God,
transcribing
the words God already wrote
