Eyeing Think Time

Writing a poem about your process of writing a poem can be, well, amusing.





Eyeing Think Time

The energy in my swirling mind







Scribbles furiously lighting up the dark







The powerful pens pump streams of ink







Dancing faster pace, designing the page







My vision swells up in brilliant bold color







Painting my fertile imagination with delight







My sight foresees what will come in measure







Building the tension and anguish to deliver







Simple it was when first I tripped over the thought







Now it perches on my nose too close to see or touch







Squirming, twisting, constantly restless, gestating the write







Tumbling idea words pushing against my head







Snarling to be heard in the dazzling light yet detour







Escaping to dark places, slithering perilous crevices







Wondering if we dip in paint pale ghosts of ourselves







Unlocking beautiful painful things alive in our hearts







Refreshing old soul wisdom awakens to guide us on our way







Glowing amber coals of thought varnishing the write







Bursting through to glimpse the haloed oval light







My stretching vision leafing details like a secret lettered on a page







Onlooker to rambling thoughts racing to gather as a musing crowd







Drifting in the stillness word winds start singing from the silence







Lifting words to dizzying heights fluttering on the watcher wings







Mystically riveted into one sharp sight
