The way I write...

Some have asked how I write and it's hard to explain...so I wrote a short poem of sorts that shines some light on my way...

My Process

Fingers on the key board,
let it flow from the mind
forming a thought
then a sound,
maybe a syllable or two
a word
perhaps string a few together
like the beads of a precious necklace
as they work their way down
face and neck,
chest, arms, elbow, and wrist,
fingers to tips
sacred writing instrument
the mind, the heart, the soul
as they touch a letter,
an image appears
and comes together
highlighting emotions
that at times
are too difficult to utter
out loud…
