It helps me to release my thoughts
and write my poetry.
I now have one in my hand so much
that it feels like an extension of me.
Black is my favoured colour.
It stands out more from the page.
Complementing each other
integrating every stage.
Once the flow is in full swing,
it matters not the length,
be it a ditty or a sonnet,
it's the words that hold the strength.
Sometimes I look through my scribbles
and I see the journey I've walked
and in amongst those mind thoughts
I can find a treasure I've chalked.
This can have a mad effect
as it is like my prophecy,
like I wrote it and left it in that place
until I find it again and see
that I knew where I was going.
I couldn't acknowledge it though
so it was like I planted it in a place
until the time I'd grow;
enough to then appreciate
the gift I've been endowed
and even though this can makes me gasp.
I really am quite proud.
It is a magical, beautiful way to record
my each and every stride.
I don't know where I would have ended up
without my writing as my guide.
My writing contains questions
and some answers too.
It can be a massive part
of everything I do.
It eases my confusion,
if I feel confused at all
and it also helps me fill the gaps
I can find difficult to recall.
