This Process of Writing
I sit quietly…
listening before beginning...
making certain
even the air
holds no surprises;
distracting thuds
nor shadows
that first
need explaining.
This process of writing--
birthing a word;
searching old foundations
for something missed,
or a crack
that shouldn't be there
and now compels
deeper exploration....
Of course, we know
little is entirely new--
mostly reformed;
our chameleon nature
green and patterned--
speckled;
these tuning moments
magnified to pixels
awaiting colorful,
somewhat
musical interpretation
That's it!
We are instruments!
On tuned occasions
divinely playing….
