My words find me
alone in my room~
They keep me company
like a familiar tune~
From the time I was small
I’ve brought them along,
they comfort me
when all else goes wrong~
My words come from
a place deep inside,
where my tears and my love
all tend to reside~
At times I have written only for me
and others, just for you~
No matter what, where ever I go,
They’ll always come along too~
They are easy to bring.
they don’t take much room~
I’ve carried them with me
since; there in the womb~
Judge them or love them
but don’t take them away~
For without my own words
I’d have nothing to say~

I love the way you combine the pictures to help get the point of your words across. You make writing seem so easy and effortless. You do such magical things with words cuz they always seem to come straight from the heart. That is a rare talent indeed… to feel it, not just write it!

Poetry is a delightful way of touching
upon hearts and minds and with every
word that is etched, a visionary feast
is offered, such is the banquet of your
writing my friend.
Have a very nice
start to your Tuesday CM

No one could ever take away your words, Diane. What has been imparted to you is a gift. Once a gift is deposited in someone it is never taken away. Thanks for sharing your heart with us!

Absolutely beautiful! Words from a true writer with writing in her blood!
Feb 04, 2013 @ 22:51:52
That is eerie!!! I started the first line of this poem with that exact sentence about having writing in my blood!!! I guess great minds think alike~ huh?

Aww it’s a simple poem but it’s so beautiful! A cute and very true way of describing the importance of words, the basic tool for us to communicate, to convey feelings…

Daph,
And since that is the way that “we” connect… with our words… I am blessed to have them with me always!
XOXO

Really, really nice, Di. I liked the way you brought forth the idea that words we say/write follow us wherever we go and that they are not just extra baggage we carry. Peace & love,
Paul

As always…. you GET them… my words that is. And that is such a comfort. Almost like listening to somebody read back what you wrote in the exact way you meant them!
Thank you my friend!
Feb 04, 2013 @ 17:34:43
That’s what happens when someone really understands what you say/write. Have a great afternoon, Di.

(Poem #545) The Moving Finger Writes; and, Having Writ
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it
– Omar Khayyam
