i sit and wait
wait for a spark
wait for my mind to catch fire on an idea

just like a puddle of gasoline when it catches fire
my thoughts light up
my mind gets engulfed in a phrase
and i write from that phrase
i dont have to think or wait for more words to come
it just flows
comes out naturally

it will happen at the most unexpected times
on a bus
in between classes
or in a dream

but when a phrase comes into my mind
i cant let go
it pushes me to write
to take it and make it a story

just in this instant
my mind caught fire
i put my pen to paper
and let go

drained my mind of flooded thoughts
and got this
this is how i write
unexpectedly, without reason

i just wait
and leave my mind open to the world
to different ideas
to people's conversations
because a word will come, or a phrase
and i will write
