Me

ME
I am the writer with faraway dreams
I am the poet who’s not who she seems
I am the reader who lives in her books
Fishing for ideas with shimmering hooks

I nourish on words, the magical sounds
Leaping in my brain like bouncing hounds 
I sleep in a web of increasing thoughts
Weaving golden silk of cunning plots

Diving in this fast-flowing river of words
Enjoying its silver swirling herds
Swimming in this mystified land
Bathing in this beach of golden sand
Grasping words in the Milky Way
Catching streams of sunlight on a sunny day

Reaching out for that single voice
Singing above all the other noise
Holding it tightly against my chest
Returning it safely to its nest
Watching it transform into a story
Feeling the glow of the pride and glory

I am the writer with faraway dreams
I am the poet who’s not who she seems
I am the reader who lives in her books
Fishing for ideas with shimmering hooks
