****************
Language to a
writer is rare–each word like
cellared, reserved wine.
*******************
The writer plummets
the river of language for
nugget and gemstone.
********************
Soaring on wings
of ascension, the writer
finds fresh winds and light.
*********************
Words for the writer
brim with scant shades of turning–
essence and nuance.
*********************
Wordsmithing is not
enough: Who can measure the
weight of a comma?
*********************
Knowledge is good and
research better, but the words
unlock truth and light.
*********************
Always measuring,
the writer adds and subtracts
fractions for intrigue.
*********************
The poet extracts
some pertinent lines, to add
shadows and layers.
*********************
The relationship
between writer and reader
is not casual.
*********************
The writer never
forgets the supreme power
of sterling silence.
