Sometimes you need help to rise above the ugliness that can surround. You need something bigger than you to come pull you into a sacred space, a safe place where you can rest a while and have courage put back into you. Sometimes, writing comes…
Writing comes to capture a feeling, a nuance
of a time and place my soul wishes to preserve.
It is as if the pen harvests an encounter
and sows it into my deep places
to draw on, to smell, taste
and linger in the moment for all time.
Writing comes, a lifelong friend
to help me preserve what is
most real and wondrous about life.
Writing comes.
