Conviction

I try to write through bleary eyes,
as tears and thoughts fall.....
On paper.
Thoughts wild and deep
depart my brain and pen
and fall
helter skelter,
onto the paper.
I long to have words, conviction born,
that those who read will think my 
words true and of import.
I long to impress and endear 
those who read
of the urgent need ......
of action.

Good expression with your words. And I understand why you called me LInda. I am so hairbrained too late at night. Linda and I have 5 in our numerology. You probably picked up on our fun vibe and confused our names. Bye now, Andrea
