Writer
What is a writer?
Someone who shares pictures and feelings,
Experiences and emotion.
She doesn’t just write words. Empty.
A writer paints without colors and brushes
She orchestrates without instruments or notes.
A writer captures words
She’s moved by sentences and paragraphs
She doesn’t just experience books, she reads book reviews and conversations and cereal boxes
She gets lost in the words of others
And she gets lost in the words she creates
She has a story to tell and sometimes she doesn’t know what that story is
Or who the story is for
Maybe it’s for herself.
Maybe it’s for the world.
Until she sits before that blank page and her fingers hit those solid keys
And she slowly disappears.
She gets lost in her thoughts
And her thoughts are discovered
Somehow they unravel.
Somehow they release themselves, releasing her
Releasing a message she didn’t know was there.
And she can breathe.

Linking up with Lisa-Jo and writing with a group of writers on this week’s prompt- WRITER (of course). Will you join us?
I love the thought that writing releases a message that we didn’t know was there. Your words are beautiful and inspiring. I am visiting from Five Minute Friday, and I hope you have a lovely weekend!

BTW, Jo Rose, I tried commenting on your site, but it won’t let me 😦 I’m having this issue often and I’m not sure why. But I wanted to say (on your site) “Me too! I’m glad we can all grow in encouraging others together :)”

Just thought I’d pop over to your blog and say hi. I love how you’ve captured the writer. I read cereal boxes and nutrition labels and random things too. I’m always looking to collect new words. 😉
