To Be Read

Growth - prompt for WDC Birthday Contest

Simmering feelings race, light a fire,
Kindling designed by thoughts,
Dreams, experience, desire.
Racing to be expressed.

Ideas form, as pen to paper,
Etching their scene, their prose,
Their inner wishes.
Wanting to be consumed.

Current arrangement necessitating,
The cycle repeats,
Etching, excision, revision.
Demanding to be complete.

Last strokes applied,
Finalizing its vision,
Dawning becomes dusk,
A new piece, to be read.
