Words call me

Words speak to me
they are my muse,
words call me, now,
when I am not ready,
when I pay attention,
driving, walking about…
 
Words call me, suddenly,
they woo, they challenge me,
they cry out in despair,
sometimes they shout for joy,
urgent, passionate, emotive words,
words of power, of light…
 
The words will not wait,
I must stop, I must write,
I must remember, to save them,
for the words can be fleeting,
gossamer pulled from the ether,
to be capture, to be written down…

My response to post by Lisa D'Amico - Artist
“This is so beautiful; I shared it to my page as well.
This is so real, which is what all art must be, real,
authentic, from the heart, for another's heart,
one we do not know, but one who needs to see,
to hear, to feel, to touch art in their spirit, in their soul...”
