The journey of a writer is long

But the adventure I undertake is exciting!

The characters I meet, add meaning to my life

Rouses love, opens fear,

Stirs up joy, brings out tears.

The subconscious is revealed

And imagination shows its full extent.

Limits found, strengths unbound

All is known

Wounds are sewn.

 

The journey of a writer is long

I get lost, lose direction, and ignore my conscience intervention.

I find myself in paradise, in horrid places, and frozen ice.

Where angels dwell, where goodness swells

Where demons, sour sit and glower

They become changed for good in the end

As I continue on…

 

The journey of a writer is long

When whiteness fills my vision

When words disappear and thoughts, they vanish

When characters are found struck dumb.

But through the silence I have to find words

And through the abyss I find courage.

Even it be a seed of hope

It ends up carrying me home.

 

The journey of a writer is long

But no writer is perfect

No human ever is!

Writers just have courage to write.

And although the journey is long…

It is rewarding to any and everyone who tries.
