when i write


When I write I connect to the stars,
To the universe that no-one else can see.
To the dreams and the darkness
That appear in my head from nowhere.

Maybe I write people.
Maybe I write feelings.
Maybe I write primroses and hazel catkins.
And spring sunshine to the smell of oranges.

Maybe I write funny.
Maybe I write the celebration of men and women.
Or women and men.

I write my style.
I write my voice.
I write my take.
I write my rhythm.

Big Magic.
Move hearts. Speak love
Speak love. Connect joy.
Big magic.

I write my joining.
I write my enemies to oblivion.

Slipping loosely into oily dark sea.
Words ivory gleaming afloat in sound
Pure intention.
Invincible.
