Literature Text

“Did you write this about me?”
I folded my hands and looked out of the window
Black gray trees speed by in a blur

“Did you? Am I here in these words?”
It isn’t that I don’t want to answer
It is that I cannot

“It is a beautiful poem”
You may call it these things
But I am just a channel…an outlet…a something

“This line here is describing me perfectly”
Yes, we are kindred spirits
Fellow travelers and we are alike

“But…why do you say this…here…?”
Because words are seeds
And I cannot control how or if or where they will grow
I am the words in the poem
I am the poem in the words
And that is all ye need to know

Matthew 13:1-9, John 1:1-5, John 8:58, “Ode on a Grecian Urn” John Keats

Like fine wine, your words too, have aged beautifully. 
 
"I am the words in the poem
I am the poem in the words."

Flawless.

Thought of you, so figured I'd stop by to say hi ! :)
