It Grabbed Hold With Teeth

It grabbed hold with teeth
Waking me, and dashing me against my own self
Skipping the bathroom 
I ran to the computer

Trying to remember some of it
Magical words placed by spirit 
Only half-understood by me.
I did not know I was a writer yet.

Let alone a poet!
Happens more often now
That I am willing to accept
My own soul truth.
