From the Mind

She writes and thinks
Her mind is toiling
As she thinks, it spills out onto the paper

Directly from her mind, translated by her heart
She writes and cannot stop
Her mind is flowing
Like an invisible dark ink, it 
Streams out from her thoughts
Through thin air and eases itself,
Two-dimensional onto the page
Abundant in ideas and thoughts, feelings and emotions
Her own experiences and life-story help her mind to write
What to write about? Write about what you love.
She loves to love,
And loves to write about love; the falling, the feeling,
The problems and dilemmas 
Her young soul is full of the warm memories,
The cold memories that were pushed into the recesses of her mind
She brings back to remembrance
For the love of her writing

She writes and thinks
Her mind is toiling
As she thinks, it spills out onto the paper
