I hold a poem in my palms And stare at the tiny letters on the page The words lift from the thin white sheet and float ahead of me Circling around me like a flutter of butterflies The words drop back into the page And i'm left feeling moved And suddenly I want to be as polished as the words on that thin white sheet So I pick up my quill, and began my own wonder The ink rolls on the page Until my hand stiffens And my mind drifts And my pen glides on the thin white sheet all alone Its comes naturally Like a moth to a flame So I write and I write From sunrise to sunset
