Write Quickly

Wrote this without much thought,
just a meandering of what was taught,
Kept on wandering through but was fraught
with worry and with a mental keenness I fought
The urge to use a formality, for it was what I bought
from the wellspring inside that gave directions I sought
Now where I am going, a sense of peace and tranquility ought
put my mind at ease for a spell.

Written quickly with lots of love
Oh spell, SERENADE ME WITH IT
I guarantee it is authentically not
Important enough to justify much
The paper is burning

Stop here...
Spin in a circle
Say when...

Now that you have written quickly, what did you find was important enough to jot down?
I contend it isn't much.

Tim, there are times when I write best as my thoughts meander. Writing always give me a sense of peace. I bet you leave some very romantic notes for your lady if you can "serenade" the world with love. Enjoyed this very much! Love, Carolyn

Much to me might be more than it is to you or vice-versa, so you rightly point out much depends on the context :)
