Like a painter
passionately painting upon a canvas
The brushes big and
small moved by the faithful hand
The results of the
picture judged by onlookers as marvellous
The harsh and gentle
strokes now come to an end
So it is with my
mind's dictations as I say
I transcribe the
ongoing proceedings with a focused mindset
Yet not always so
focused as the mind is swayed
But what is brought
ashore is what is caught in the net
As a photographer
with a camera in focus
The goal to capture
every moment of the event
So I zoom in and
out, snap a shot and stay in focus
To bring the full
image til my mind is content
Outpoured emotions
Unwanted divisions
Set up commissions
Bringing clarity to
visions
These are the pieces
of the puzzle I play with
The pipes and the
tubes my mind breathes with
In the moment when
my mind is clustered with thoughts
Ventilation scarce
so I weave in the thread of thoughts
My blanket has rough
patches but still a soft lining
The words brought
forth like a stage play of miming
Each writing is like
a story but not always in full clarity
But still to the
reader it remains the work of Charity
--
Only a vessel still,
so here's the main reason in words
The One above me is
the greatest Poet who wrote my life's lines
I'm a dictation that
came from His lips and written in His Words
So my gift is on my
life transcribed, with that He also gave me signs
Why I write?
Its not a simple one
to answer
But I write
To reveal and
uncover
To comfort but not
to blander
To cherish and to
love
To simply tell a
story
And to express
what's within me
Thus the reason why
I write
