Writing
is less of a craft, a gift,
writing
is so much about
capturing
a moment, inspiration;
seeing
the words, the constellations,
the
points of light against the black sky,
the
mind’s eye of unconsciousness
Writing
is knitting the words
into
the tapestry, the fabric,
they
were already meant to be;
gossamer
wings and steely gravitas
blended
or plucked from the ether
such
is the process of inspiration
Writing
is finding the words,
already
stitched together
woven
tight with strong bonds;
phrases
and thoughts tied together
already
formed, ready to be discovered,
seen
and printed onto the page

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