When I write
When I write
everything pours out into my pen:
steeped emotions,
vibrating coils of memory
the dandelion fluff of dreams
voices from my subconscious
heard clearly through the ink
passions and thoughts,
wanting to right wrongs,
change history, heal wounds.
I coat them with imagination and creativity,
deepen them to take on
the voice of a storyteller,
and they swirl together into the color of
the ink on my page.

I’m glad it fits for you, too–and glad you like the metaphor!
