taking flight

something old is new again

I wrote some words once

so light

they flitted off the page

and flew away

My best work

is liable

to grow wings
and leave me
lonely.

Yes it happens a lot..at times a very beautiful work was up there in my mind
I put it down but it will never come as complete as I had thought of it
once only once I could do it,but before I saved it the light went off
and it was lost ,so I tried for hours again to put it back,but never
never ever will it come back like it came the first time..how depressing
it came in a very distorted way..how this mind works in a very strange way
yes things could fly away from off paper so easy,and we can do nothing about it
I really enjoyed this..
lovely write..

I love your imagery here. My best work can never be translated from my mind to the paper. Why is it that way?

"Flitted off the page" I like that. Perhaps your words were too light, but that will never happen. We get better with age, so I see great things for you, I don't think you will ever be lonely. Your best work is yet to come.

I love this, thats all.

Ah, but the words will always be with you - circling above, casting shadows, asking questions, remembering. I like the idea, though, of words lifting off the page. Nice poem.

i love this. your best work will see more of the world that you will yourself..
but it is you, so that makes you a world traveler! I love the lightness of this,
and the letting go.

As long as your words continue to flow, everything is going to be alright. This is lovely Emily, a real delight for me first thing in the morning. Smiles ...
