Writing is the Sound of the Soul Breathing

 

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.my arm writing

 

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

  1. I love that line Wendy 'Writing is the sound of the soul breathing' - because it just is.
