Penning Down Thoughts

As often as I pen my thoughts 
from head to hand
to what is wrought 
and arrive surprised  
at words once sought, fortuitously  
stained glass ideas appear 
like falling manna,
between these ears, 
doing whatever it is 
thoughts do best…
letter by letter,  
each welcomed guest.

And often as I pen to please
ideas that stir like winter leaves,
urging, surging like the sea
in hidden forces like gravity  
and starry peaks I crawl to climb,
towards moving targets in my mind,
like eagle wings that lift and soar… 
penning down thoughts 
is a mind bending, 
never ending, 
beauty lending,  
walk along the shore.
