Reborn

Silent words
written on
untouched
sheets of paper

bound by wire
protected by
covers

closed by hands
and lie waiting
in the silence
in the dark

unknown
to the world
of its existence.

Silent thoughts
incarnated
in words
begin to take
shape
and rise out

like a genie sprung
from its magic lamp

And I form
an unborn poem
in the womb
of my mind

only to become
silent words
on blank paper….

then

my book is opened

my words fly

my poems run free

and I am

born

all over again.



I wrote this one today. I think this poem speaks for itself. :)

Collaboration
I am so lucky to have found this image. Thank you catrinarno for the collaboration! This is perfect!

    Extraordinary, Erika. You are truly coming into your own. This is exceptional.

  • You really think so? I try to best choose the words that describe what I’m thinking. And this is the result. It really means a lot to me what you say. Thank you, my friend. :)
