Today as I sit

I write on blank pages

giving them purpose…or

for this moment

they may be helping

me find mine.

 

With each stroke of

the pen, something can

be created…something

will be created.

Something great,

Something filled with passion.

Something to create feeling.

Something to create emotion.

 

Emotion…

Can emotion be created

with a stroke of a pen

on blank pages?

Or…will it just be

persuaded to move.

Is emotion just waiting

for the right moment

and when that moment

is right,

emotion finds its purpose?

 

When emotion finds

its purpose…

Passion takes a breath.

Passion starts to breath life.

 

From a stoke of a pen

on blank pages

we can move emotion

and give life to passion.

When passion finds life

she must have time,

time to grow.

Time to live.

Time to create.

 

Create…

What must passion create?

Passion must give birth

to love.

Without love,

passion can’t live.

And if passion can’t live,

Love can’t be born.

Emotion will cease to move,

and the blank pages will

no longer have purpose.
