Conveying Depiction

When I write I vision a painter’s strokes of emotions
Flowing up and down, side to side
Sometimes movements of smooth serenity
But times where the hand strikes in quick passion

When I write I try to portray with my words
What a potter orchestrates with his hands
The slightest movement of delicate fingers
Carving imagination into dimension

When I write I dream of a sculptor
How each hit of the chisel molds the aspects
Each straight edge and curvy line
Creates a rendering of imagery

When I write I think of how a picture
With one click, captures a memory forever
Freezing for a moment truthful emotion
Evidence of life and experience

When I write I imagine a singer
And how she breathes from her soul
Emotions pouring out in every lyric
In every note, in every pitch

When I write I envision the reader
In whom my words will evoke sensation
A heart’s passion of sympathy
And a mind’s determination of action

When I write I hope to release
To inspire and infuriate
Reactions of rage and craze
Delivering myself through difference
To you
