Gemini Garden Silent One Just Words on a Page
That barren blank pristine surface
and then…..
The scratch of the pen
The grind of the pencil
That first mark as it strikes the surface and breaks the plane
The drip of the ink
The cathartic strokes of the pen
Eager to do it all over again
The sound of the words
Their acuity
Their accuracy
Their sensuality
Their spontaneity
Their perplexity
Their melody
Their harmony
Those that instill fear and forever warn me
Pleading
Begging
Cajoling
Charming
Those books on the shelf
Dogged ears
Crumpled page
That smudge
That rub
I know where I was
I remember that time
Like an old song
whose magic is strong
Just words ….
On a page
