a written page perhaps
paragraphs and illustrations
seemingly complete
perfect in itself
but only notes truly
if she is open
a starting point only
for the Spirit of God
open to God’s Spirit
giving to God’s leading
speaking in the power
of God abiding within
the words already there
seemingly already written
but only notes truly
is she has given control
to the Spirit of God
