You can't know how or why

You can't know

how or why

you can only know

what you know

the feel of the pen

in your hand

the scrape of the nib

on paper

the smoothness of

a blank page

the joy of seeing

the page fill

with words

ink flowing onto

the page

your hand rushing

to keep up

with your thoughts

that feeling of

wishing you could

stay in this place

forever

writing

feeling a connection

with something larger

than yourself

a part of the universe

inside you

that you touch each time

you hold a pen

and move your hand across

the page

like plugging 

into your heart

like hearing

the song

your soul

sings

like praying

to God

and knowing 

God is there

listening

Do you ever wonder?

Do you ever wonder 

what the day will bring, 

what stories will come, 

what poems, what words?


Do you ever wonder

where the source of words 

is hidden, and how it opens 

and lets words flow every day?


Do you ever wonder 

why these words, not others, 

and why now, and why through 

your pen and not someone else's?


Do you ever wonder 

if you can live a life filled with words

without wanting more

than being able to write, 

to share the joy and mystery 

of words with others?


Do you ever wonder

if you can keep writing

day after day, week after week,

year after year, in the hope

words will unlock 

the mystery of why

you're here and 

who you are?
