A Writer's Mind

There’s a tunnel that stretches forever

Swells of imagery flicker with outlandish beings,

Both great and miniscule.

Each creature tasked to devise its own name,

The reward laid out in a poem, a play, a story

They can finally call home.

When it gets to be too much they flow

Out through my neck, down my arm, to my pen.

The jaded would say writing simply falls from the treetops

Like autumn leaves or ripe fruit.

In a way it does, in a way it doesn’t.

The fruit is the tree’s gift to the world,

As my words are my humble offering.

Love it! Writing about writing. Especially expressive is the line about each creature devising it's own name, and the reward. My artwork and crafted items create themselves. The end result is their doing. And so perceptive of you to state that our works sometimes fall into our laps, and sometimes they don't.
