To write is to feel the world
in its essence
every fibre of meaning extracted
to dance across the page,
enveloping the reader
in a languid embrace.
To write is to find oneself
at the core of each word
jostled in turn
by swathes of meaning,
tumbling thought-streams,
sweet rhetoric of wonder.
To write is to walk naked
in the imagination
while closeted unseen,
revealing all for those
who perceive
in lines of poetry
sprouting seedlings of wisdom
disgorged to take flight.
