Write Me
Put down your remote
pick up your pen
write me
Make me current
as I could only be written
in this very moment
(but make me timeless)
Assign words to
smells, sounds, tastes, sights
that only you sense
(but make me universal)
Recall every poet
(but be yourself)
Recollect every writing rule
(so you will know when and how to break them)
Make me enigmatic enough
that I can’t be comprehended on the first pass
(but intriguing enough to want seconds)
Season me with swagger
to inspire the timid
Saturate me with hope
to comfort the downhearted
Imbue me with faith
to inspire the seeking
Permeate me with love
to bless the lonely
Don't sweat it if others do it better than you
(they don't know your heart)
Put down your laptop
your briefcase
your phone
pick up your pen
and write me
(I am your story)
