First came word
then phrase
next line
then thought
and idea
errupted from the deepest reaches
of my soul

not for purpose but for necessity
not for explaination but for existance
as a bolt of light and flame awakes tranquil sea
into arm and out through hand
my pen sprinted across the page
and the ink caught fire
burned deep blue
through paper and back through me

so quickly such flames extinguish
for my aching eyes to gaze
in awe all down my page
and see unmistakably only now
myself
stated clearly
and with no mistake.
