A Writer's Life

What a view

That a writer sees of the world

Striving not to take anything for granted

Admiring the intricate beauty

Of a petal, or a leaf

Expressing this beauty using words

Is never easy



The constant music

A writer hears

Makes their hearts

Dance with hope and joy

and makes their souls

Free and without fear

One note equals the ultimate happiness

Felt by those privileged to understand



The living textures

A writer feels

The materials that breathe life

Through the fingers that touch

and the light that comes from within

Burns brighter than daylight

and that writer feels the warmth from inside



What wonderful scents

That entrance a writer

A rose, the smell of purity

The scent of spring flowers, and

The wonderful aroma of freshly cooked corn



The magic of taste

Becomes a guide to all writers

The fantastic flavours

Of knowledge and understanding

Become a writers tool, a writers life



Tragic, it seems

The beauty is almost too much to bear

and the love in this world

Make all five senses totally alive
