Writing is measured, shapely, intended
Every breath out predicates every breath in
Each sentence brings forward another one
Every word is a platform for the next jump
In meaning
We breathe in lines, in paragraphs,
In pages, in chapters, in volumes -
Our life laid there in a trillion words
A million separated, well formed
Page-squiggle-sounds
Writing is the notation of the quiet soul-
Not blasted out by trumpets and clarinets -
Dark smoke in the air, rising -
But the words lie there, just
Waiting for your eye.
They lie there in ranks and lines
Waiting for you to add your world
To my notation on the page
Creating a different world
New to your soul and mine
Writing is the sound of the soul breathing
I love that line Wendy 'Writing is the sound of the soul breathing' - because it just is.
