taking flight

something old is new again

I wrote some words once

so light

they flitted off the page

and flew away

My best work

is liable

to grow wings
and leave me
lonely.

Yes it happens a lot..at times a very beautiful work was up there in my mind
I put it down but it will never come as complete as I had thought of it
once only once I could do it,but before I saved it the light went off
and it was lost ,so I tried for hours again to put it back,but never
never ever will it come back like it came the first time..how depressing
it came in a very distorted way..how this mind works in a very strange way
yes things could fly away from off paper so easy,and we can do nothing about it
I really enjoyed this..
lovely write..

You have heard a whisper, felt the flutter of a notion, caught glimmers in the corner of your eye and savored them for a fleeting moment.

But rest assured that your words will find someone else and your best work will make them feel less alone. It has already happened!

Hallo Emily, you are following this minimalistic poetry, you are so good in it...that's nicely shifting scenes here "they flitted off the page

and flew away " ----- so sweet this.

Happens a lot when you actually think about it. Happens a lot to me! I like it. Two thumbs up!

Love the way you have shown the mind of a reader, and the way words drift through our heads. Great write! ~ Jude :-)

Ain't it the truth. LOL Cheers.

sometimes I think my words do this and they replace themselves w/ clones.
I guess I'm more confused than lonely.
Still lonely just more confused.
