We Have It

We have it.

We have this passion

this sight that shows so far beyond what many can see

what we do see

I see a starry night sky.

Hear the pitter patter of rain on the rooftops

The sounds of my father when he comes home from work

A yellow ribbon around a tree

Blood dripping down fingers of a dead man

blonde curls of a sweet boy

long, white dress of a married women

Green grass that fades to dead brown straw

We have a vision.

As writers, not just authors,

we aren't afraid

of madness

of passion

of love or desire

of hate or violence

we aren't afraid because we have all of them.

We have it all.

Bright red lips

words lifting off of the pages

images filling our heads

stories that will never leave our hearts

Bright yellow in the sky

long golden hair

late nights by a warm fire

the weight of a silver crown upon ones head

We aren't afraid to be brave.

We aren't afraid to be crazy.

We aren't afraid of life

though many say they aren't, they prove in life they are.

We have it.

You know who you are.

You have it too.

Author's Note

So punctuation is not what I focused on this time. As words came I just seemed to write them.

we aren't afraid of madness...although we are all probably a little bit mad to do what we do....but i think we might feel life on a little different plane than those who don't write...

not sure why that is...but i think it is....and we feel that it is our duty to be scribes of what occurs in life...we need to write it down.

I completely agree. I'm glad you see what I see in the way we live. It's so different and so many are unable to understand. I find writing poems about it is often the only way i understand myself. I agree we are a bit mad…but you're right we have to be. Thank you for your review I am always glad to hear your words
