Endless Circles
It begins again.
The pen, long dormant,
comes alive as it starts
to skim the paper
like a smooth stone thrown
off the surface of the water.
The words spill out,
stirring the stars to
cast endless circles around her
while revealing their light,
a light which has
guided her verses of prose.
The spark is no longer contained
igniting across her mouth,
burning spirals of colors
that float out the window
colliding with a frigid night air
leaving her to bask
in its afterglow.

I rarely use this descriptor, but it's quite magical, the delicate metaphor you've woven. Nice to see you kid. 💖

Very nice Charlotte. As per usual, you are a very talented writer. Starting out with the pen and the use of the simile "like a smooth stone thrown off the surface of the water" it reminds me, for some reason, of Billy Collins' poem "Introduction To Poetry:, if you haven't read that poem you should check it out (Google it). The poem transitions to a celestial theme where stars and light guide then finally the spark. I love that you are writing again and the beautiful way that you told us, the only way a true poet could. Cheers!
