hearts desire

and they want me to tell them my hearts desire
put words to my wordless longing
and spill open
out
onto the waiting page
for the casual eyes of the indifferent
to find something that makes a difference
in their ability to find their own
through exposing mine
i show you mine
i show you mine
i tell you my hearts desire
i speak it, quietly
in my stare from anywhere
i whisper
i sing
i wander across the white page
looking for what will ignite
the true truth
and cause it to flame
up
in birth
i long for you
to stop your longing
and be
here
on the waiting page
with me

i've been around the world

of my insecurities, it seems. i'm livng on my site: www.writressworder.com. i'm blogging there in a daily kind of way, but want to be in a wider world of bloggers. i've recently tripped into lulu.com and published excerpts, poetry and the whole damn blog of '06 in 3 different books: www.lulu.com/writressworder. it's terribly exciting for me. it's an extraordinary joy to be in control of creating and publishing content, not waiting for someone else to permit it. it is the greatest feeling to have books with my name on the spine standing upright on my bookshelves. i'm putting my toes in the water to promote the works. there's lots to fix, of course--lots of typos and grammar, spelling, punctuation errors. and then there's my trauma with capitalization to confront. it's true that you can fix it later, but it's a hassle and a big pain in the butt. why not do it "right" the first time, if you can? oh, for all the stuff i have to confront on this spiritual journey toward myself. crazy. wonderful. and i get to blog about it. i think this is an extraordinary joy.

happy today!
