A Writer's Words

A writer’s words

Thought of wisdom swirling within a writer’s
Brain jaunt jaunty to the fingers,
Fingers alchemy and become words
Words written with fire of passion
Words written with fire of emotion
Spread across the line
Which the writer cannot cross
Spread across the
Word, to where writers never can come across

A writer’s words

A writer’s can make ocean
Dry a day, ocean
In the heart, originated from the eyes
Words that can bring dark to light, words written in verse
Words that can make one commit suicide
Killing bad in him/her

A writer’s words

A writer’s words is a nation
Herself, a nation that makes a nation
Stands on a pool___a pool of reality
She can nurture a person
And fills his/her life with glee
A person becomes a family
A family becomes a community
A community becomes a society
Society becomes a state
And entertain the whole country

A writer’s words

Writer’s word is not by
Energy nor is it by power, but by wisdom___wisdom infused by
God, He made her sharp and strong as metal and
Can shred Mountain of darkness that blocked
The word from seeing her light
Words that come through deep meditation
Words that come in as much breeze exist
Words that come through ability to notion
Words that come through ability to notation

A writer’s words

A writer’s words is a judge
That judge within the readers mind or sense
A writer’s words is a writer
That lives within the writer
To make the writer an entire
