Lead and Ink

It starts with a thought or word some distant sound or something you’ve heard, saw, felt or smelled. Maybe it’s something you fear or love, or maybe its just an idea or ideal, becoming the story, song, poem or verse. And once it starts it just keeps going, becoming emotions feelings and words. Maybe it’s a memory or a dream, could be running water in a stream twisting and toiling, or a sunrise purple and pink for my perception and imagination to set free. Becoming the destination of the scribbled lines you read. Some are born to paint or sing play or dream, but I get mine from Lead & Ink.
