Understanding A Writer
There Is A Recipe
I will get to that later
For now lets talk about the obvious
Always thinking about the here and now or years in the future
Trying to reconstruct the past
Taking the simplest thing and making it a big deal
Trying to make others understand
Often leaving frustrated and having a confused look on their face
Always attemting the impossible
Then translating it into words
Writing and rewriting the same line that know one else cares about except them
Sometimes telling a funny story
Where people try to give someone else the credit
Outgoing but can be a recluse
Often propelled by just one thought
Writing for hours on a whim
Then casting aside all their work
Like a shipwreck tossed on the beach on the next strong wave
Soon buried by life covered by sand
Some things are never good enough
Always trying to change the world
We can be found
Walking in the mist of nature
Holding a handful of rich earth in our hand
Tucked away in a corner reading a book no one has read in years
Loving more in fifteen minutes than others have loved in years
Carrying a smile like it was a cell phone
Glued to our bodies and cracking it open every chance we get
To know writer is to love everything good in life
Watching the bad pass by and trying to lasso it while it is not looking
Trying to get the jump on the morning and going to bed when everyone else is sound asleep
Going without food because they too busy searching for answers
Amazed by love
That ignites their passion and turns blank pages into works of art
Writing down words arranging them in a unique order
Like building a sky scraper
Years of planning but the result of endless hours of preparation and dedication
Only few will see
What it takes to make it
Enduring all the hardships and setbacks that pop up
Faster than dandelions in the grass
Never perfect but their heart always in the right place
Off to pull out an old dictionary
Just trying to find the right word
You can love them
You can leave them
Watch them sad and aggravated
As they slowly bleed internally
My best advice is to hold them
Listen to what they have to say
Love them more than before
Watch as your life becomes so exciting
You could never ask for more
