There Is a Bubbling Spring - of Words
There is a bubbling spring, deep below the edge of my mind.
Dark, with glistening waters that are yet blurred,
And indistinct.
I watch it, with some interest, to see what comes forth,
As I am ignorant until words appear. They flood forth,
Ripe, pregnant with meaning (though sometimes, only
I can see what relevance to my life...or yours...
they might possess).
And always I wonder, whence cometh this fountain of words?
And I have no answer (though I blame my Mother…and perhaps my Dad).
Yet others seize on this and egg me on, and I do…I write…and
Wonder, whither it comes and is it me…and what does it all mean?
