The Vessel

It’s the flow that energizes; from brain to paper though it changes from sparking though to inky pools; emanations upon the page like, fresh blood from a wound. I bleed words... rhyming, redundant, mystical, metaphorical; imagery drawn upon a blank canvas. I have no choice, you see; it comes and inundates my brain, overflowing the grey cells with passion’s bliss, I pour... Inspiration from nature’s very soul; the world is a painting, waiting to be revealed; transcending the womb, to wing its way to the page; a butterfly upon its way. My pen bleeds the soul of eternal secrets; it is the magic wand and I am a channel, for the universe... I pour.

Another poem I love - thoughts and words do inundate our brains and a single word heard maybe at the supermarket, or the pharmacy or at a social gathering, whatever or wherever it might be, triggers of a series of thoughts, which enables a poet to use his or hers creativity to craft a poem Hugs and blessings, Jennifer Jennifer

…transcending the womb, those words are birthed. What will their personality be, what will their life reveal?

It is mystical being a channel "the world is a painting, waiting to be revealed;' and here you are!

Thanks, that makes me feel a little better. I lost my cat of 19 years yesterday to renal failure, so the weekend has been really down. These comments definitely are helping a bit.
