Let Your Words Take Flight

Throw yourself out there and yes, just write,
whatever it is your thoughts could be.
From heart to pen, let your words take flight
so that others your true thoughts will see.

The world is your invitation, 
it has been and will yet always be.
To write in this, your life’s duration;
those words inside just long to come free.

It matters not, wherever you are
and you find that you reach for your pen,
for the more that you give in to this,
it will happen again and again.

Many will want to read what you write,
you do well to remember that fact.
It’s fulfilling to see your words take flight
as on the spur of the moment you act.

Inspiration always seems to arrive "on the spur of the moment," Doug. Sometimes we just have to stop whatever else we're doing and put the thoughts to paper before we lose them. I like the way you see the world as an "invitation" for self-expression! Love, Carolyn
