Note pads ontop of note pads
Filled with words
As I jot down my endless thoughts
While the late night darkness lurks
It’s when I’m at my best
By the light of the moon
Captivated by the silence
My mind is in full bloom
Like the phoenix I rise
Up from the days ashes
As my pen dances softly
Across all my pages
I step back and admire
What I’m contemplating to submit
But like many writers
I wonder if all the words fit
I second guess my words
And rip out some pages
I rewrite my lines
To emulate what I envisioned
And once it’s all done
To my version of perfection
I mull over it some more
And make careful corrections
I read it out loud
And then to myself
Should I or shouldn’t I
I whisper to the books on my shelf
I’m sure I look crazy
To anyone who may stare
I’m in my own world now
And I’m quite comfortable here
It’s where no one can judge me
And I am free to create
Facts or fiction
It’s all fair game
I put my headphones on
And continue my madness
Of organized chaos
While I work on different
Vocal media challenges
I make joyful noise
With a multitude of phrases
Then I hit submit
And share my creations

I love writing, creating something out of nothing, the world is a canvas. Musically anything goes. I was the girl in high school in the corner with ear buds and notepad. Now I’m the women who dances to her own drum barefoot on shore.
