Words

A Poem by Phoenix Alleena


She sits, staring blankly at a page
Simply wondering if her mind will kick in
It’s been so long since a poem flew forth
So she waits, and lets the pen do it’s talking

Spun from the ink, new worlds start to form
Creatures and people she could barely imagine
She studies their lives as the pen slowly dances
She wishes she could become part of those words

The words have more power than one can tell
They sit there on signs, in essays, cluttered on flyers
But here, they are gods, creating and shaping
She watches, intrigued by their powers

Words dance on the paper with alongside a scratching pen
Little letters form towering cities above all of us
Floating between the lines, showing fortunes and futures
She keeps on watching as the pen moves without her

It’s been oh-so-long since she’s done this soul healing task
A good month or more of creative depression and starvation
But she sits up straight and smiles kindly this time
For though she denied it, she had shaped those words

As the page fills to brimming and the letters crowd,
She puts down her pen and raises the paper before her,
Shaking the misfit letters of for another piece,
She reads her creation for the world to finally hear her…

Author's Note

Phoenix Alleena
Life's been hard lately. Devestated back in July. College plans got screwed over and around themselves, and now I am waiting another year. I was off to art college; thought I was all set. But I wasn't... Couldn't get a loan with any of my cosigners, even for 6k.
I know my creativity suffered, I haven't written or drawn anything in so long. So hopefully; this is a start of getting back on track. To those who have supported me through that; This one's for you.

This was well done sweetheart. You haven't lost anything. You just need to flex those muscles. They're sore at first, but then you realize you never lost anything.

i support your writing because it is always so majestic and beautiful! Tough times hold me down too, but it's time to fight against them and let creativity shine through as it should! Keep making great reads and inspirations
