What are words when they are disregarded?
What happens to words when not regarded?
The writer loses all hope and will.
The words stop flowing like a mighty spill.
What happens to words when they are praised?
What are words when not erased?
The writer finds joy in the creation of things.
The words flow as if from eternal springs.
How wonderful is the mind full of words?
How amazing is the pen ready to fly like birds?
The writer flies to make ideas soar left and right.
The words come and dreams take their flight.
How horrible for the mind to quiet?
Or how awful to battle like in a riot?
The writer fights to maintain composure,
But the words might not leave their enclosure.
But what if words start running amuck?
This is a new problem where writers get stuck.
Finding what’s useful and what’s not
Makes the revision of words hard to spot.
What happens when words are curated?
What happens when words are related?
How does it feel to be in the creative mind?
How does it feel to enter a project in a wordless bind?

Gossamer
"Murray! Wake up!" He loved that period between waking and dreaming. To him, it was like entering another dimension; more of a dreamscape than dreaming itself. There was an otherness to it that he wanted to grasp and yet deeply respected the fact that it could never be his totally. This is what gossamer was; flighty and light, a wisp of smokiness, an idea suggested but not fully revealed, a slit in cloth, a copse in the wood.
