Finding The Words

Please don’t spend precious time

Searching for a rhyme 

Just say what you want to say 

Let it flow out

In an effortless way

In the form that it wants to be said

Don’t hoard an idea 

In the dark of your head

Clutching it tightly 

While you fuss politely

Over form 

Or fret about how

It might be received

It’s your idea

Your thought

Your desire

A delicious ripe sample

Or your inner desire

It doesn’t

Have to meet 

Anyone’s standards 

But yours

Ideas will rust

And flake into dust 

If you let them get stuck 

In the muck

Of your thoughts 

Debating

Deciding

Undoing

Colliding

Worrying about the right words 

The flow from your heart 

To your hand

Must be quick

Not stylish or slick

Not clever

(Not ever!)

Just let your thoughts rip

Be bold and be swift

The flow of ideas

Must be smooth
