of writing

writing to me
peels back the layers
helps me to think through
say what is unsaid
hidden beneath
i enjoy putting the words together
like lining dominos
never knowing the last piece
smile
when God often steps in
to tie it all together
words come
songs come
meter and melody
gush forth
like hidden springs
i rarely write for others
just digging beneath the surface
finding a little more of me
sometimes clarifying who i am
or maybe just dig for digging sake
just to see what might be there
