Terzanelle Nr.05 — The Job

This is the job of writers and saints      
turn up at the desk obeying the call      
and do so alone, without complaint      
      
sit in a manner of wonder, that’s all      
open your mind with a curious wait      
turn up at the desk obeying the call      
     
an angel is guarding your muse at the gate      
so none of your foes will suffer to strike -      
open your mind to a curious wait      
     
with freedom to be … just do what you like      
filling your heart with a permanent smile      
so none of your foes will suffer to strike      
     
expressing yourself without any guile      
turn up at the desk with a pen in your hand      
filling your heart with a permanent smile      
     
this is the way, the only demand      
this is the job of writers and saints      
turn up at the desk with a pen in your hand      
and do so alone, without complaint.
