Finally! It’s coming.
Soaring around my brain,
Coursing through my veins;
begging, pressing, screaming to be released.
I want to; I want to get it out.
Need to, but it just keeps building,
Developing, growing, transforming.
Drawing strength as it grows in numbers, in type, in likeness.
It’s not ready yet, but it’s coming; fierce, like a tidal wave
under the sweet swoon of the moon.
Strong enough to change a mind, make you forget
others of its kind.
Right there, no, right here.
This is the place for it, it needs to happen here. It just feels right.
Put it down. Get it all down.
Before…Before…
The want comes no more.
I can’t explain it.
Whew!
The word. The word is a powerful thing.

The word, it'll be back, you know it will. :)

Hi, LaTanya - I can relate to the 'right there, no, right here' part! Words are elusive little suckers. :) Best of luck with your writing.
