Driving that Formula 1 racing car
Words coming fast and furious
Imagination set into overdrive
Taking the turns at unimaginable speed
Until I hit the wall!
Instant blank, everything stops
Exhilaration only a distant memory
Forced to deal with the wreckage
Sitting in that little wooden boat
With only a three HP outboard motor
Puttering along, dragging a line
Reeling the words in one by one
Riding a brand-new bicycle
With lots of time to observe
The world around me
Passing by in slow motion
The words arranging themselves
Beautifully and in order
Enjoying that slow ride
Through the country side
Then a welcome change of pace
Flying high above the clouds
A different perspective inducing
Heavenly sentences
Imagination now taking me
Into an abyss full of shadows
Where the dark paints
Words of sorrow and pain
Back in the sunlight
The words soar into the sky
In beautiful lines, mirroring clouds
Loving, tender, and stimulating
A writer’s life is unlike any other
Filled with unimaginable heights
Incredible dark, depressing lows
An exciting life lived on the edge
