For Those Who Love to Write

Needles of thought Needles of thought prick my head
Until even the sawdust of my brain
Must respond.
Through threads of memories
Tightly woven and interwoven
The tiny dart probes.
In and out so fast that
I barely have time to focus
Upon the tapestry they continue to weave.
That my hands are not quicker
To draw the picture in writing
That the flashing needles of thought
Embroider endlessly
Upon my mind.
Outlet
Why do I only write
Pensive-serious-sad?
Because when I'm joyous,
I'm much too alive to sit still
But am up-about-off somewhere BEING!
Exodus 4:12
Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say." (NIV)
Luke 12:12
for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say." (NIV)
Thank you Lord for giving me "word pictures" to write!
