The Writer
The Writer
Solemn and quietly, they sit in their place of their own choosing
Deepest within their thoughts of both amusing and confusing
What phrase works, how does this sentence flow infusing
Such a gift, making the words dance can be so amusing
An eternity staring at a blank screen, watching the curser’s beat
Searching, researching for their next inspiration to complete
Immutable inner thoughts keeping so very indiscreet
Allowing their thought and emotions to compete
There are many forms of writing, and the genre is their domain
Be it a such wonderful story they tell and how they entertain
Subjects that excite you, involve you, erase the mundane
Taking you places, some magical, some causing pain
Writers of wonderful songs, lyrics and music that magically flow
There are writers, storytellers and teachers of what they know
There are writers of poetry, invoking emotions they bestow
How their talent emerges, of this we do not know
The mesmerizing effect of what music can bring in our everyday life
The songwriter reaches you, knows how you struggle with strife
The music, the band and guitar riffs that cut like a knife
Giving you such wonderful memories all your life
A wonderful tale that can take you to some far away places
Perhaps a crime story is your liking, some unsolved cases
Your vivid imagination flourishes as your heart races
Sending you into a fantasy, imagining their faces
Losing yourself in some well written poetry, touching your soul
Words flowing magically, consuming your emotions whole
As if the writer was writing to you, your heart they stole
Leaving you with such memories for only you to extol
The many formats to express deepest thoughts and emotions
We the reader, immersed within our deepest devotions
Mesmerized by the messages, in all their notions
A good read can be like some magical potions
