Written

They flow like water 
Splashes on the page
Words like ink
Seep in and come alive
Words that breath 
And speak to me 
Put on rough new pages
Smell of dust and leather 
With a flourish of a pen 
A rush of anticipation 
Waiting to paint the pictures
The words will tell
To touch hearts
And change lives 
Words that won't fade 
Lasting through time
A joy and a thrill
These words take shape 
Shifting, molding 
Bringing life and creating 
Something new
